Enjoy Life, Enjoy God

WORD OF THE LORD

September 4, 2013

Imagine if God were to speak to you right now, how would you respond?
 
The word of the Lord that came to Joel son of Pethuel.
                                                    --Joel 1:1 TNIV
 
This is not some preacher or prophet speaking to you, but a friend, an acquaintance, a flesh and blood person saying, "I have something I want to say to you."  That makes it the word of the Lord.  So what to do?  It depends on the word, yes?
 
--a word of comfort
--a word of insight, guidance
--a word of rebuke, a summons to a changed life; repentance
Joel speaks God's word to the people, us, what will we do?  What if we don't like it?  What will we do?
 
Joyfully,
