ZEALOUS

“Then the Lord will be zealous for His land and will have pity on His people.” 

Joel 2:18

Do we ever think God doesn’t see us in our sin? Many of us would say, “Yes.” We do things we know we shouldn’t do. We act in ways that are unbecoming to the Lord. Our thoughts are not holy. But God does see. And most importantly, He cares. Our actions and thoughts are not just a disgrace to us, they disgrace His name. In Joel 2:12, God calls us to return to Him with all our hearts, with fasting, weeping and mourning; to rend our hearts. His response to the one who does that? He relents. Why? Because God is ZEALOUS for us. 

Lord God, You are ZEALOUS for me. Forgive me when I sin. Thank You that You hear and pursue me.
