Amos 1-5

In chapters one and two the Lord points out Israel's sins. He will always show us our deeds. He says there is consequences for them.
In chapter three we see He sends a witness. Amos was chosen to bear witness. The message is not always well received. Today we are to be His witness of how he works in our lives.
In chapter four we see how the Lord sometimes uses different means of trying to bring us back. Sometimes they are natural, sometimes induced by the Lord to restore us.
In chapter five we see where all of this is to prepare us for the day of the Lord. His desire is for that to be a time of joy for us. He sends His message through His word and the holy spirit guides us in all truth. Are we listening to the Lord? His plan is always best.
