361. Great Things
Joel 2:21 Fear not, O land, be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things.
The Lord promises to do great things. For this reason the Land (the Kingdom of God) may not have anything to fear, and the Land may be glad and rejoice, The Kingdom of God and all the believers in the Kingdom are able to replace fear with joy, because the Lord promises to do great things. Whatever bad things are happening in life that cause fear, worry, doubt, anxiety and stress will be replaced with joy and gladness. We are set free to be happy. All the bad things in life are caused by Sin, sometimes our own sin and sometimes the sin of others. Either way, fear enters in to rob us of joy and steal our contented happiness. But fear not! Your God and your Lord will do great things. We are more than conquerors.
Romans 8:32: “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?” If we have Jesus what could we be afraid of? He has given us everything needful for gladness and rejoicing. The Lord has kept His promise: in Christ, He has done great things. Some of the great things: forgiveness of sins, eternal life, salvation from our enemies, the indwelling Spirit,, hope, faith, love, joy, peace and we could go on and on. The Lord has indeed done great things, almost too numerous to count up and remember. He has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature. [2 Peter 1:4].
Jesus tells the father of the healed son, “Tell everyone what great things the Lord has done for you.” Everyone’s joy is expanded when we tell and hear of God’s great things. And we will feel much better when we tell ourselves what great things God has done for us. Believe the promise; “The Lord will do great things.” Pray for His name to rule, His kingdom to come, and His will to be done in your life. He will answer your prayer and do great things.
