The Coming Fast

God’s judgment on the wickedness of man is a reality that we should never take lightly. Our faithfulness TO God is directly tied to our reverence FOR Him, and therefore, we must be wary of anything that might cause us to take that for granted.Amos arrives in Israel in response to such neglect, as the prosperity of the nation seems to have cost them their humanity. Their persistence towards greed and injustice reflected a clear rejection of God’s heart for the vulnerable in society. In response, His judgment arrives to grant them their foolish desires - a life absent of the word of God.
