Joel 2: 12-18
Patti Pulara
Where is God? In Hope. I think that the book of Joel uses the symbol of locusts devouring land and enemy armies destroying Jerusalem to compare the destruction of the human spirit that is without the awareness of God. This led me to think about where one finds God amongst the daily grind of life or amidst disaster and ruin? I can look at Haiti as an example and see what they are doing. Where are they finding God? It can be summed up in one word...."HOPE". As one Haitian musician sang to his people; "Don't get discouraged, go inside yourself where you can find your spirit..." It is there that we find god and the hope to live another day.
