Reflection
In today's readings, we see God's urgent call to mission. Joel delivers God's message of judgment and restoration, calling people to urgent repentance and promising divine renewal. Matthew 10 shows Jesus commissioning the twelve disciples, sending them out with His authority and specific instructions for ministry.

The key insight we can draw from these passages is this: God calls and equips us for His mission, giving us both the message and the authority to share His love and truth with urgency and purpose.

Let's break this down into a simple principle:

Respond to God's call with obedience and urgency, trusting in His provision and authority as you share His message.

Here are five practical steps we can take to apply today's readings:

1. Ask God how He might be calling you to share His love with someone specific this week.

2. Pray for one person by name who doesn't know Jesus and look for an opportunity to serve them.

3. Choose to trust God's provision in one area where you feel unprepared or inadequate.

4. Share one way God has been good to you with someone today.

5. Spend 5 minutes asking God to show you His heart for people around you.

As you go about your day, reflect on this question: How is God calling you to participate in His mission right now?

Conclusion
Thank you for joining me today. God calls each of us into His mission with purpose and authority. Trust in His provision as you respond to His call with urgency and obedience. Until tomorrow, may you boldly share His love with those around you.
