Impending Judgment
Today’s Reading: Amos 3
Focal Verses: Amos 3:7
Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
Imagine you are driving on a mountain road and, all of a sudden, it suddenly drops off into a deep gulley. You would expect some kind of warning, wouldn’t you? It would be typical to have several warning signs, an available detour and maybe some flashing lights.
The children of Israel were on a road that headed into a drop-off. Miles and miles ahead, God began to warn them and even offer detours (see 2 Kings 3:3-6 for one example). He sent prophets who warned them for years. They just ignored all the warnings.
Sometimes we head down a road that ends in calamity. Even today, God graciously warns us again and again. Are we going to ignore His warnings, too?
Thank God for showing you the road hazards ahead.
If you are headed down a dangerous road, make the decision today to accept God’s warnings and get off!
