Amos 9
The Lord is righteous and He is just. He punishes, but as I have posted here, His punishment is not aimless, it is intentional and for our own good. God's goodness is seen in Amos 9 as He promises to restore Israel and never again "uproot" them. God is also good, full of mercy, compassion, kindness, and of course wisdom.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You ARE good, full of mercy, compassion, kindness, and wisdom. I am not deserving of such blessings. I sin...I hide myself from You and I neglect my relationship (training) with You. I know You love me anyway...this is Your goodness and mercy on display. Thank You Jesus. But I am in need of forgiveness...please forgive me. Help me deepen my love of You, my trust in You, my faith, in You, and my obedience in You. Help me live a bold and daring faith Lord Jesus.
New wine will drip from the mountains
and flow from all the hills,
and I will bring my people Israel back from exile. v13-14
