-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Amos 5

Join us in today’s prayer and devotion: -Praying Thru the Prophets: Amos 5:
Read Amos 5 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

In your judgments brought upon ancient Israel through the prophet Amos there are many parallels in our own culture which could bring the same judgments upon us.

We now live in a society that is calling what is ‘good,’ represented in your Word the Bible, as ‘evil.’ Those who teach your Word and truth are now spoken against and called ‘haters’ since they continue to speak the truth of your scriptures in a culture  which has departed from the truth and gone its own way following false philosophies.

The ancient Israelis offered up their infants in the false temples of Moloch seeking economic prosperity and we do the same to day with millions of children being aborted and sacrificed in the name of ‘Choice’ and equal rights. An evil represented as good.

The poor have difficulty receiving equality and justice while the rich obtain favor through political contributions which many times is nothing short of bribery.

Even a large number of those who do say that they believe in you and your Son live their lives in this culture like everyone else. So many Christians look forward to the end times but before Jesus comes again, here in Amos you declare that there will be a day of darkness and judgment.

Let us today seek You and your Son Jesus rather than merely carrying on with our religious traditions and ritual worship. The lesson from Amos is that we should seek You Lord and come closer to You and seek your truth rather than evil.

But before that day of darkness and judgment will be a time when your Word and the ‘Good News’ of your Kingdom will be proclaimed in every nation and to every people and in every tongue with signs following confirming your truth.

Let that great world revival and harvest begin and let this nation see a new awakening and come to a knowledge of the truth like never before. Let this people come closer to you in truth and in deed. 

In Jesus name, Amen.
