It Shall Not Be

Scripture Amos 7:3 So the LORD relented concerning this.
“It shall not be,” said the LORD.

Observation: This is what God says when Amos asked to forgive Jacob. There must be a point where God won’t forgive or He won’t be just. You can’t keep sinning without consequences. Our country must be at that point now. The people continue to cry out and God has answered our prayers, but we continue in sin and have become worse. There is no reason for God to answer our prayers any longer.

Application: I need to help people prepare for what might happen. I don’t know for sure the end is near, but it could very well be. I need to be obedient to God’s calling in my life and pray for those He puts in my path.

Prayer My Lord we ask so much from you and you are a generous God. I don’t know what your plan is, I just want you to open my eyes to what part you desire me to play.
