Today we are reading Amos 8. In this chapter we read about the desperation of the people as they search for the truth found only in God’s word.“”Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God, “when 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. They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord, but they shall not find it.”
Amos 8:11-12 ESV As kids we played, “Hide and go seek”. We would run from place to place searching for those in hiding. It was all in fun but what we are reading about in chapter 8 is more of a frantic search for a cure. God is the cure for everything that makes us anxious. Seek Him in His word and He will cause your anxious fears to cease. Pastor Tim
