—Amos 5:7-15
by: Jasmine Lynch.
If Amos were alive today, he would be denouncing the evil that is prevalent in our society: the rich and mighty “afflicting the just and taking bribes; diverting the poor from justice” (v.12, NKJV). His plea needs to be sounded loud and clear, “Seek good and not evil, that you may live…Hate evil, love good; establish justice” (v.14-15, NKJV). How are you defending the oppressed in this evil time? Are you one of the prudent who remains silent? It may be that our merciful God will be gracious to us if we sound the alarm and defend the poor and needy.
