When frightened or scared... pray! God is bigger than anything the world can throw at us. So when the world is throwing everything it has at me, I've got to call out to the God who made the world. The verse above was written as a prophecy for the end times. Up to this verse, Joel is foretelling the things that God's spirit will do as the world comes to a close. God will pour out His spirit on "all flesh" - on anyone, not just the Jews (the people Joel was writing to at the time.) Man and woman, old and young, all are able to manifest God's spirit! And now it has passed that whoever calls on Jesus will be delivered, redeemed, however you want to put it. The remnant - the few who stand through to the very end (as it is written in Revelations...) will be / are called by God. And we will call upon Him, and this verse promises all people that God will deliver us when we ask!
So again I emphasize, when uncertain or doubting, when terrified and hopeless, pray! Pray this verse, pray to the God who is bigger than any problem I might have. ASK! Jeremiah 33:3 says "Call to me, and I will answer you." It goes on to say "and I will show you great and mighty things which you do not know." Peace, grace, love that passes understanding? We won't know it until we call to God.
God, don't allow me to be too proud to ask You for help when I desperately need it. *Amen.
