Punishment of the Rich

Scripture Amos 2:6 Thus says the LORD:
“For three transgressions of Israel, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they sell the righteous for silver,
And the poor for a pair of sandals.

Observation: Our leaders and the very rich have power over most of us. They don’t care and abuse their power and treat the poor with contempt. If they would only give from their massive wealth and help those in need this world would be a different place, but I’m sure that won’t be happening. We are going to have to wait for the new earth before we see the love for each other the way God desires it to be.

Application: I need to help whenever I can and wherever God leads me. I’m not here for me but for my Lord and the people He surrounds me with.

Prayer Good Morning Lord, it’s a new day. Please guide me through it and put people in my path that I can help and pray with. Thank you for each day and the opportunity to serve You.
