-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Amos 8
by Dr. D ~ January 15th, 2020
Join us in today’s prayer and devotion: -Praying Thru the Prophets: Amos 8:
Read Amos 8 and then join us in prayer:
Our Father,
Through the prophet Amos you declared judgment upon the ancient nation of Israel because of their treatment of the poor and needy in their nation; for over charging them for food and necessities and for ultimately enslaving them. Part of the sanctions upon the nation would include a famine not of food but of the Word of God.
Father, inspire us through your Holy Spirit to pay attention to your Word and bless the poor that they might receive what they need. Let us always be among the champions of justice that we might help in providing them with a way out of poverty.
Lord, we also stand in intercession for our culture that is increasingly ignoring your teaching and Word. May this self-imposed famine of Your Word end and let there be a new Spiritual awakening that brings respect for your teaching once more in this nation.
In Jesus name, Amen.
