When I am out of synch (part 6)

I am exhorted by the prophet Joel, as were the whole of Israel and as the entire church is, in Joel 1:14-15 and Joel 2:16-17 to bow before Him and sanctify and purify myself in Him because He is coming and His judgment is near. I am exhorted to plead for mercy and forgiveness and to humble myself before them. And not to follow anyone else. He is King. When I choose as His daughter to place anything above Him, it saddens Him. And although He still loves me, the choice has consequences. As all our choices do.
