There is a truth that we cannot ignore: to overcome new problems, we need to adopt a new attitude.

That’s exactly what the prophet Joel taught the people of Israel at a time of great crisis. Faced with an unprecedented situation, they would need to act in a way they had never acted before.

What to do in the face of a “never before”?

The pandemic was a clear example of this. Although everyone faced the same situation, the results were different. While some indulged in despair, others found the strength to reinvent themselves and overcome the challenges.

The difference was in the reaction of each one.

Those who did what they had never done to face what had never happened came out stronger.

Identify the problem

First of all, Joel called the people to wake up and see reality.

Many people get used to problems or try to escape them by distracting themselves. However, there is no solution without diagnosis.

Therefore, it is important to take inventory of the situation, identify the problem, and recognise what needs to change.

Put God first

In addition to recognising mistakes and repenting, the people needed to turn to God.

Often, people seek help in everything and everyone before seeking God. However, the house of God should not be the last option, but the first.

When we put God at the centre of life, we strengthen our faith and find direction to face any challenge.

What haven’t you done yet?

That’s the question that remains. What action do you need to take to overcome this problem you have never faced before?

Maybe it’s changing a habit, abandoning something that takes you away from God, seeking more of His presence or making a decision that you’ve been deferring.
