Amos 1-2

So here we go again. Another prophet, similar message. However Amos begins a message to the general population. Most prophets brought the message to the leaders or kings, but Amos goes straight to the people. The problem is that's the only difference. The message is the same. God's message is a complete judgement of Israel, and no one is exempt.
We are without excuse. We choose to live with integrity or not. We choose obedience or disobedience. The idea is we know and we decide.
Israel was politically secure but spiritually smug at this time. It is dangerous when we become self-sufficient and confident in our own abilities. Humility goes a long way toward integrity and obedient. I encourage you to stay humble, and allow your confidence to be in your Lord.
