    Obey Your Calling

    In this chapter we see the visions of judgement the Lord gave Amos. What catches my eye is how Amos obeyed God's call to prophesy unto the people of Israel even though he did not have the education or training to accomplish the task, he simply obeyed the Lord. In making application we see a call to obedience. By Faith we are do what the Lord instructs us in His Power through the Holy Spirit. How about you? Do you allow your feeling of inadequacy keep you from obeying the Lord? Let us learn from our text today and life of Amos who followed the Lord even when he felt inadequate simply because he followed his calling by simple obedience.

    God's word has never changed, no matter the time period.

    L you shall find that usually in the king James that when you run across an unusual word that in the context it shall explain what it means esp when used for the first time. The Websters 1828 dictionary is also a useful resource online or in print. He was a believer and a linguistic word scholar who knew the Biblical languages of Hebrew and Greek.

    The night before reading this, I woke up from a dream and I heard "peculiarly or perfectly perpendicular".

    As I was reading Amos, the word plumbline stood out, never heard the term used before so I looked it up. Then searched for perpendicular and when I seen the definition of one of the descriptions as being plumb, I got so excited! I had been praying for YHWY to send me a word and He did.

    When God said He was setting a plumb line among His people, He was declaring an end to their attempts to justify their crooked ways. The Lord was setting the standard.

    We need to line up our lives according to God's plumb line rather than than our own agenda. We are God's peculiar people.

    Jesus is not going to keep giving us his forgiveness when we are playing games with him he is not the one to play with.

    God always want us to speak the truth to the world.
  • Mary on Amos 7 - 6 years ago
    God sent Amos on a mission to tell his people thus what he said. Amos was faithful to obey God rather than man regardless of the status of Amaziah and misleading what was said to the people. We need to obey God too, because this world is going to be destroy just as Amaziah and his family if we do. Everything in the Bible point to the way we live today and what going to take place.

    I enjoyed The Book of Amos it tells of the evil Israel was doing to the poor and needy. God is going to bring an end of the injustice that was going on in the world especially against the poor and needy.

    YAHUAH SENT PROPHET AFTER PROPHET TO WARN YISRAEL TO TURN BACK TO HIS LAWS, BUT THEY REBELLED AND AS A RESULT WE ARE IN OTHER NATIONS LAND SUFFERING. SHALOM

    GOD is merciful and forgiving, but when we turn our backs against HIM we have to pay for our sins.
  • Helen on Amos 7 - 11 years ago
    The Lord is a merciful God. He had pity on them, when they asked for mercy.
