What Just Happened Out There?
Commentary
Nothing is something because it provides a blank stage for God’s miracles to be clearly seen. One second, we don’t think we’ve got anything. Then we realize we’ve got everything, and more. Joel’s prophecy following a devastating attack on the crops by locusts is a reminder that God will do even more than replacing everything that was physically done to their ravages, in terms of crops and survival – God is planning a new era in which we will recognize the universality of God’s Holy Spirit, and the presence of the Spirit among all in society.
