Amos concludes his song of lamentation with a perspective check regarding judgment. It’s not something God is eager to do, nor the sort of thing anyone should take lightly. Those who share God’s heart should want to delay it as much as He does. And those who oppose God in general shouldn’t underestimate it when it finally happens.

1. God’s delays in judgment says more about His patience than His approval of our actions.

2. God isn’t eager to punish anyone and we shouldn’t be either.

3. We aren’t promised a tomorrow. Live for Jesus today.
