Amos speaks and proclaims God’s visions to “generation obvious” who place their faith in health, wealth and self. When Amaziah insults him, Amos replies in humility.
What are you looking for, signs, miracles? The modern day atheists still looking for the obvious- health, wealth, and self, while denying God’s power to change their lives.
God is sovereign. Everything happens for a reason. God warns the nation Israel not to trust their own wisdom, but his warning that a disaster is coming upon them because of their own sin.
