Afternoon Bread:
“Blow a trumpet in Zion; consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly; gather the people. Consecrate the congregation; assemble the elders; gather the children, even the nursing infants. Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her chamber.” Joel 2:15-16
Joel leads us in the right direction. Our hearts have been rended and it’s time to draw together. Their purpose is one. From young to old, the people come together to surrender as a unified body to the Lord. Even on what some say is “most important day of their lives” the bridgroom and his bride choose unity in Christ. They leave the chamber and her room to gather together, fasting and praying for the Lord to look upon them with favor and forgive them. We take Joel’s advice very seriously and realize the need for that trumpet to be sounded. We need to be consecrated before the Lord with one purpose and in one Spirit, waiting upon the Lord, seeking His face, and magnifying His Name.
*Are you willing to leave your personal “chamber” to gather together with the body of Christ for consecration before the Lord? Are your priorities in line?
*Take in your “bread” for the afternoon, by meditating on this Scripture and what that looks like. also pray
