Psalm 104:24-34
New International Version
24 How many are your works,(A) Lord!
In wisdom you made(B) them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.(C)
25 There is the sea,(D) vast and spacious,
teeming with creatures beyond number—
living things both large and small.(E)
26 There the ships(F) go to and fro,
and Leviathan,(G) which you formed to frolic(H) there.(I)
27 All creatures look to you
to give them their food(J) at the proper time.
28 When you give it to them,
they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
they are satisfied(K) with good things.
29 When you hide your face,(L)
they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust.(M)
30 When you send your Spirit,(N)
they are created,
and you renew the face of the ground.
Psalm 104:35
New International Version
Praise the Lord, my soul.

Joel 2:18-29
New International Version
The Lord’s Answer
19 The Lord replied[a] to them:
“I am sending you grain, new wine(C) and olive oil,(D)
enough to satisfy you fully;(E)
never again will I make you
an object of scorn(F) to the nations.
20 “I will drive the northern horde(G) far from you,
pushing it into a parched and barren land;
its eastern ranks will drown in the Dead Sea
and its western ranks in the Mediterranean Sea.
And its stench(H) will go up;
its smell will rise.”
Surely he has done great things!
21 Do not be afraid,(I) land of Judah;
be glad and rejoice.(J)
Surely the Lord has done great things!(K)
22 Do not be afraid, you wild animals,
for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green.(L)
The trees are bearing their fruit;
the fig tree(M) and the vine(N) yield their riches.(O)
23 Be glad, people of Zion,
rejoice(P) in the Lord your God,
for he has given you the autumn rains
because he is faithful.(Q)
He sends you abundant showers,(R)
both autumn(S) and spring rains,(T) as before.
24 The threshing floors will be filled with grain;
the vats will overflow(U) with new wine(V) and oil.
25 “I will repay you for the years the locusts(W) have eaten(X)—
the great locust and the young locust,
the other locusts and the locust swarm[b]—
my great army(Y) that I sent among you.
26 You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,(Z)
and you will praise(AA) the name of the Lord your God,
who has worked wonders(AB) for you;
never again will my people be shamed.(AC)
27 Then you will know(AD) that I am in Israel,
that I am the Lord(AE) your God,
and that there is no other;
never again will my people be shamed.(AF)
The Day of the Lord
1 Corinthians 12:4-11
New International Version
4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit(A) distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone(B) it is the same God(C) at work.
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.(D) 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom,(E) to another a message of knowledge(F) by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith(G) by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing(H) by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers,(I) to another prophecy,(J) to another distinguishing between spirits,(K) to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a](L) and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit,(M) and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
