Revived by His word ....... Amos 3 God declares that His special relationship with Israel cannot continue so long as they cling to their iniquities, similar to, two people cannot walk together unless they walk in the same direction, that is, have a common purpose in view Amos summons the heathen, Philistia and Egypt, to observe Israel’s iniquities by which they would be surprised of the wicked life of the so-called God’s people. Israel has forsaken justice, the very basis of society; they have become morally and spiritually blind, so they neither do good nor perceive it. Therefore, the divine punishment will be thorough, except for a small remnant When Israel, the family of God, refused to live up to her high privileges and accept her responsibilities, the favored position was taken from her and given to the church, the spiritual family of God. Greater the knowledge of God’s will, greater the responsibility, and greater the reward. May we learn from the experience of Israel and may it continue to draw us closer to God and to one another!
