Amos 1-5; Psalm 131; Proverbs 29:23; Amos 3:7

Amos is a great book filled with bleak yet beautiful poetry about God and Israel, but today just consider this one nugget of truth: the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. God reveals himself and his plans to his servants who then reveal them to his people, to us! If you wonder if God has revealed his will to you, he has. He hasn’t revealed the play by play of your life, he has revealed the lost-ness of your heart, how to be made right again, and how to grow in godliness, all in his written Word. In sorting out your day-to-day life, trust that if you need wisdom, you should ask God for some because his Word promises he will give it, and trust that if you seek God where he can be found – revealed in the Scriptures – you will find him.
