“[5] Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth. [6] For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion. [7] He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white. [8] Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth. [9] The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the Lord; the priests, the Lord's ministers, mourn. [10] The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth. [11] Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished. ”
Joel 1:5-11 KJV
What we receive, is not for use. It is, for, the use of, others. This is what I feel, God almighty, and Jesus, his son, are telling us, in this, verse. I say this, because, they are, One. They are, in us. They help us, eat, every day. We, as a people, need to, repent. We need to, cast aside, old habits, and give to the poor. We need to give to each other, or God will take what we, each rich person, who needs help, he will take what we have, and give it to those who are in greater need. We are being selfish, with our desires, and with our love. Jesus says to show love to those, who love you not, (Luke 6), and even to those who hate us. We are, not a people, that is, accustomed to, losing. But if we do not break, and mend, our habits, we will, lose, all. We are coming, to a point of, decision. What Makes us, or breaks us, are our habits: giving, or not giving: this is the question.
God Bless you all.
