Amos shows us what happens when the anger of our righteous and just God boils over and His judgment is meted out to the unrepentant. Let us learn from the mistakes of others before the day of His judgment arrives.

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.
