Amos's Election Advice

Even though he lived 2700 years ago, the prophet Amos offered advice to the people of Israel that is still relevent to us today. America parallels Israel in our Godless lifestyle, but Amos offers an invitation to freedom. Here are some selections from Amos 5:4-9:
"For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, 'Seek ye me, and ye shall live' ...Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name: that strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress."

May you experience joy as you seek the Lord in prayer this week!
