A Thirst for the Word of God

Scripture Amos 8:11 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord GOD,
“That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread,
Nor a thirst for water,
But of hearing the words of the LORD.

Observation: We are in that famine now. No one hears the word of God and few are even listening for it. God’s word has always been available to us and we have access any time we want. But we don’t listen. Our world has ignored God for such a long time, why should He speak to us now. I’m still confused why God doesn’t end it now, but not my will His be done.

Application: I need to listen more carefully to what God is saying to me. I can’t just read God’s word but I need to study and obey. I do feel we are getting closer to going home, but that’s only a feeling and nothing that God has said. I need to continue to be in God’s word and obey.

Prayer Dear Lord please speak to your servant and command me on the mission You have set before me. Give me a peaceful mind so that I may hear your words.
