The Lord warns the complacent and the callous that their days of ‘feasting and lounging’ will soon end, for they do not help the unfortunate or care for the ones who have strayed from the Lord. Let us heed His grave warning.

Do you truly worship the Lord and are you ready to meet Him? The day of the Lord is coming and it signifies salvation for some, but judgment for others. What will it mean for you?

Even as Israel was on the cusp of receiving the Lord’s terrible judgment, Amos offers a glimmer of hope. Let us forsake the trappings of religiousness and instead seek the Creator and do what pleases Him, for therein lies our salvation.

The words of warning delivered by Amos in Chapter 4 verses 6 to 13 could very well have been directed to us who are alive today. Let us learn from the mistakes of Israel and devote our lives preparing for the Lord’s return.
