Amos 6-9

Daily Verse

"The days are coming," declares the Sovereign LORD,

"when I will send a famine through the land-

not a famine of food or a thirst for water,

but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD."

Amos 8:11

Daily Thought

I've talked to you and talked to you...

We knew we had more time. Dad could talk. Truly an artist at work.

I've talked to you and talked to you until I'm blue in the face...

This was the high point of the lecture. Dad really did turn blue. Still, no worries, as long as he kept talking.

I've talked to you and talked to you until I'm blue in the face,
and now I'm done talking to you.

Uh oh.

"The days are coming," declares the Sovereign LORD,
"when I will send a famine through the land-
not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD."
--Amos 8:11

Daily Prayer

Lord God, Thank You for Your Word. It guides me in life, leading me down the right path.

Too often, though, it may appear that I'm not listening to You. Probably because I'm not. I take You for granted, or I follow some silly notion that I have a better idea about life than You do. Please, God, do not give up on me. Thank You for Your patience and endurance. I need Your Word. Keep speaking, and I will develop the heart of Your Son, who said He doesn't live by bread alone, but by every Word You speak.

Amen
