Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is “protect.” God decided to pass
judgment to his peeps through the prophet Amos. Not the best job in the world
to have, but Amos is the one who got the assignment. Some may think that God is a pretty mean dude
for all the judgment on the Israelites, but sometimes they needed a good
whoopin’ to keep them in line. I remember
when I was growing up that my mom was never opposed to the “rod of correction.”
Hey, what can I say, she was a southern girl who knew the power of a tree
switch. But I knew the she was always
doing what was best for me; it was her job to protect me and help me grow into
the man she intended. God knew what he
was doing…
“I brought you up out of Egypt, and I
led you forty years in the desert to give you the land of the Amorites. I also
raised up prophets from among your sons and Nazirites from among your young
men. Is this not true, people of Israel?” declares the Lord.
~Amos 2;10-11
My question is: how has the Lord
protected you over the years? God has
cool plans for you and sometimes I am sure you screw it up… just like me, like
all of us do. But God is not about judgment
without reason. My prayer is that God
helps you identify the need for correction in your life. He will protect you and and give what is
needed to succeed in life. Take heed to
his decrees and live a life worthy of your calling.
Praying for you,
mo
