1. Surely he has done great things (18-27)

When the Lord's people plead his mercy, he will hear. He will do great things for them. He will drive the army of locusts into the sea and will restore the land. Trees and vines will bear fruit; the grain harvest will be abundant. The wild animals will rejoice. God's people will know that he is God and there is no other. They will praise his name, for he is with his people.

2. And afterward...(28-32)

God poured out his Spirit--as he promised--after Jesus' death and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins (Jn 7:39). God's Spirit awakens men's hearts. People who only thought of their own selfish pleasure will prophesy--teach God's word. Old men whose dreams were dead will again dream dreams. Young men who only thought of the flesh life will have great vision. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Ro 10:13; Acts 2:21). The Lord pours out his Spirit into repentant hearts.

Application: Lord, forgive my sins and give me your Holy Spirit. Raise up a remnant of people who dream your dreams and have your vision for the world.
One Word: Call on the name of the Lord
