Daily Bible Reading— October 2024, God’s Guiding Word: Justice and Peaceਨਮੂਨਾ

October 29
Introduction
Amos 7:1–17: Amos describes three visions (locusts, fire, and a plumb line) that pertain to the destruction of Israel. His preaching is challenged by Amaziah, the head priest at Israel’s temple at Bethel, and Amos responds with a dire warning.
Today’s Key Verse: Amos 7:15
[Amos said:] “The LORD took me from my work as a shepherd and ordered me to come and prophesy to his people Israel.”
Reflect
In the first two visions, Amos prays on behalf of the people (verses 2, 5), and the LORD changes his mind. In the third vision, what does the plumb line represent (verse 8) and what will be the outcome (verse 9)? What does Amaziah tell King Jeroboam (verses 10–11)? What does he say to Amos (verses 12–13)? How does Amos respond (verses 14–17)? Have you ever encountered resistance to what you knew to be the truth? If so, how did you respond?
Pray
Holy God, keep my mind and heart open to your truth. Fill me with your Spirit, and teach me to heed your voice and obey your teachings. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Amos 8:1–14: The prophet pronounces more doom for Israel.
