The world is a mess. Our friends disappoint us. Our own good intentions let us down. Sooner or later our very bodies will give out. But God has opened a way for us to swim eternally in the ocean of his love. The prophet Isaiah helps us to look beyond ourselves and stake everything on God, who alone is our only hope. Will we follow him. Trust him? Rest in him? Bow before him?

Amos is a nobody from nowhere. He was a simple shepherd from Tekoa that God called to be his mouthpiece for a people that didn't want to be his people. As a prophet, Amos was to speak to Israel and remind them of their need to return to the Lord, yet Israel was very wealthy and lived as though they didn't need him. They worshiped God in ways that seemed best to them and were self-indulgent, instead of wanting to actually meet with God in the ways he established. Through Amos we see God speak to a people that closed their ears to his word, so the Lord rises up and roars over his people.
