Guilt Always Runs From Truth!

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Amos 7:13 “Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel, because this is the king’s sanctuary and the temple of the kingdom” O-bservation: These are the words of the High Priest of Bethel, Amaziah, who served under the leadership of King Jeroboam of Israel. He told Amos that this was the king's sanctuary, not of God, and to leave. He told Amos he should prophesy in Judah, but not to the ten-nation tribes with the king’s palaces in Samaria. The problem that Amaziah and King Jeroboam and all the wealthy Israelites were facing was that they had...

COMPLACENCY

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Amos 6:1 Woe to you who are complacent in Zion, and to you who feel secure on Mount Samaria, you notable men of the foremost nation, to whom the people of Israel come! O-bservation: Amos, the little farmer from the southern regions, had been called away from his farming by the Lord to prophecy over Israel. His statement to open his prophetic words had God’s booming voice declaring those who are complacent in Zion and those who are secure on Mount Samaria that judgment is coming.

Am I Ready?

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Amos 4:12c Prepare to meet your God. O-bservation: If ever there was a prophet who came from almost nowhere, it was Amos. His prophecies against Israel are alarming. Yes, he did die a violent death at the hands of his adversaries for what he preached. Even today, people would most likely want him silenced. He reminded the people of Israel of the times God had severely judged them. However, even then they would not repent. Because of all of this rejection of the most high God, Amos said, “Prepare to meet your God!” A-pplication: As I...

From A Small Town To An Eternal Stage

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Amos 1:1a The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa. O-bservation: Here we read the opening words of the book of Amos, written by Amos. He was one of the 12 minor prophets of the Old Testaments. Tekoa is a little Jewish village on the West Bank, in the Judean wilderness. It’s humbling to read that Amos mentioned himself as just one of the shepherds of Tekoa. A-pplication: This is the story of a shepherd proclaiming the judgments of God against both Israel and Judah, and yet he was from a very small place....

The Seeker’s Fruit

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: Amos 5:6a Seek the Lord and live. O-bservation: Throughout the entirety of the book of Amos, we see the Lord begging the people of Israel to turn from their evil ways and back to Him. His call is through the prophet Amos. In this passage the Lord simply says, “I’ll give you real life if you will just seek me.” A-pplication: What I can tell you about my life is that the more I live, the more I want to LIVE! I’m thrilled with my life. I love LIVING! The last thing I want to do...
