📍 经文:约珥书 1:12;2:23;2:28
⸻
🔥 一、喜乐的枯干(约珥书 1:12)
“葡萄树枯干,无花果树衰残……人的喜乐尽都消灭。”
在约珥书第一章中,以色列因悖逆和罪恶遭遇蝗灾,连最基本的农作物都被吞噬。神指出:“人的喜乐尽都消灭。”
当人远离神,与神的关系破裂,属灵的喜乐就会渐渐干涸,生命变得沉闷、失去方向。
⸻
🌧 二、归回神的呼召(约珥书 2:12–13)
“你们要尽心归向我,禁食、哭泣、悲哀……因为祂有恩典,有怜悯。”
神发出温柔却坚定的呼召:“归向我。”
不是要人仅仅外表悔改,而是要“尽心”归回神。
当我们愿意在痛悔中回转,神就乐意施怜悯。
喜乐的恢复,从真诚悔改开始。
⸻
🌈 三、神恢复喜乐的应许(约珥书 2:23)
“锡安的民哪,你们要快乐,为耶和华你们的神欢喜。”
神应许要恢复春雨秋雨,地土再度丰收。失去的岁月要被补还,心灵的干旱将被甘霖滋润。
神邀请祂的百姓:“你们要快乐。” 这不是出于环境改变,而是出于对神信实的信靠。
⸻
🕊 四、圣灵带来的属天喜乐(约珥书 2:28)
“以后,我要将我的灵浇灌凡有血气的。”
这节经文预言了五旬节圣灵的降临(使徒行传第2章)。真正持久的喜乐,是当圣灵充满我们的生命,使我们重新与神亲密同行。
当圣灵浇灌,人就会经历喜乐、力量与新生的盼望。
⸻
🙌 应用回应:
若你发现自己的喜乐似乎“枯干”了,不要停留在沉闷中。
悔改、归回、等候 —— 神要恢复你心中的泉源。
祂要赐下春雨、秋雨,也要将圣灵浇灌你,使你在祂里面重新得力、欢喜跳跃。
你的喜乐,不再取决于外在的丰收,而是因你认识并信靠那位使荒地变为乐园的神。
📖 Joy Restored through Repentance and Renewal
🗓 Date: July 25, 2025
📍 Scriptures: Joel 1:12; 2:23; 2:28
⸻
🔥 1. Joy Withered (Joel 1:12)
“The vine is dried up and the fig tree languishes… joy is withered away from the sons of men.”
In Joel chapter 1, Israel faced a devastating locust plague due to their sin and rebellion. Even the most basic crops were consumed. God declared, “Joy is withered away.”
When we turn away from God and our relationship with Him is broken, spiritual joy begins to fade. Life becomes dry, heavy, and directionless.
⸻
🌧 2. A Call to Return (Joel 2:12–13)
“Return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning… for He is gracious and merciful.”
God sends a tender but firm invitation: “Return to Me.”
He desires more than outward rituals—He wants our whole heart.
When we turn back in genuine repentance, God is ready to show mercy.
The restoration of joy begins with true repentance.
⸻
🌈 3. The Promise of Joy Restored (Joel 2:23)
“Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God.”
God promises to send the early and latter rains again, bringing fruitfulness to the land. Lost years will be restored, and spiritual drought will be refreshed with heavenly rain.
God calls His people to rejoice—not because of changed circumstances, but because of His unchanging faithfulness.
⸻
🕊 4. Joy Through the Outpouring of the Spirit (Joel 2:28)
“And afterward, I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh.”
This verse prophetically points to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2).
True and lasting joy comes when the Spirit fills our lives and brings us into close fellowship with God.
When the Spirit is poured out, we experience renewed joy, strength, and hope.
⸻
🙌 Application and Response:
If your joy feels withered or dried up—don’t stay in discouragement.
Return, repent, and wait—God longs to refresh your soul.
He will send the rains—both early and latter. He will pour out His Spirit and cause you to rise again in His strength.
Your joy will no longer depend on external blessings, but on the One who turns barren ground into a joyful garden.
