—Amos 5:10-15
by: Leota Stevens.
God’s wisdom has been obvious to many renowned philosophers. Plato once observed that “He who commits injustice is ever made more wretched than he who suffers it.” Amos laid it on the line here by addressing those who choose to ignore the wisdom and counsel of God while seeking their own greedy comfort and profitability. It is better in the sight of God to be taken advantage of than to take advantage of people in helpless situations. Predatory economics garners no favor with the Lord Almighty.
