While reading the book of Joel I cam across several lines that rang beauty in my ears and spoke profoundly to my heart. They gave me a glimpse of our amazing true God.
In Chapter 2 the lines are as follows, "The and is like the garden of Eden before them, but a desolate wilderness behind them, and nothing at all escapes them." For me that shows that if we earnestly walk in the path of Jesus that ahead of us there sands the garden, but if we go back their is wilderness which gives loneliness, confusion, being lost and trying to find a way... when then only true way is Jesus. How profound is that?!
Another quote that attends to running after Gods glory and victory which paint a beautiful picture for me are as follows, "They run like mighty men, They Climb the wall like soldiers; and they each march in line, nor do they deviate from their paths. They do not crowd each other, They march everyone in his path" Wow I love the last two lines where they do no crowd and march in his path. That speaks that Gods kingdom is for everyone and there is not crowding, that ALL are welcomed with openness. Also the eagerness/determination to continue to marching for God shows commitment which will be rewarded.
Another quote which sounded beautiful to me is "The day of the LORD is indeed great and very awesome". Also another quote to go along with that beauty is, "For He is gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness and relenting of evil." Now that makes me want to march in that line for Him! Just saying.
I just want to end with this beautiful quote, which demonstrates a true and perfect God who is SO GOOD. "Do not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad, for the LORD has done GREAT THINGS!"
