The Words of Amos

For behold, He who forms mountains, and creates the wind, who declares to man what his thought is, and makes the morning darkness, who treads the high places of the earth--the Lord God of hosts is His name. 4:13

Seek Me and live. 5:4

Seek good and not evil, that you may live; so the Lord God of hosts will be with you, as you have spoken. Hate evil, love good; establish justice in the gate. It may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph. 5:14-15

Isn't this the simple truth of the gospel, seek Me (the Lord) and live?  Yes, it is very simple and I thank my God for this simplicity.  When we are back-sliding to return to the ways of the Lord are so simple, He says, "Seek Me and live." And He is mighty to save.

Isn't it amazing that the Lord, mighty in all the earth, makes coming to Him so incredibly simple.  

2 Chr 16:9 says, "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him."

The Lord, He's looking...and His eyes are not looking to the form of the words on our lips, "Lord, help me get out of this mess." Yes, He hears but it is the heart behind those words that He sees and He is looking for the heart, broken, contrite and humble asking Him to save from the situation as well as the heart desiring to turn in repentance to His guidance from this day forward. Every heart that cries out in this manner the Lord hears, the Lord sees and the Lord saves--without exception!

If this is you, the Lord is looking for you. Would you turn to Him, cry out and be saved?

In Christ's love,
