Amos 1-4
Amos was a shepherd from the town of Tekoa when the Lord gave him a prophetic message. The Lord told Amos many of the warnings that he had given to the people of Israel... hunger and famine, drought, blight, mildew, locusts, plagues and the destruction of cities, but still the people would not listen. Chances are, they didn't even regard these as messages from God to turn around.
Where is the shepherd today who will hear the prophetic word of the Lord? When the Lord speaks to the shepherd, will he tell of earthquakes, volcanoes, drought, flood, and global warming? Will he tell the shepherd that we were so foolish about how we handled the signs, by thinking that changing our light bulbs would solve the problem rather than changing our lives and turning to the light of the world. The people of Israel didn't get it, will we?
