Amos

I actually did some daily bible reading today and honestly it is the first I have done in 3ish months. I feel bad about this but I'm also happy that I picked it up today. Looks like we are getting into some Minor Prophets and today we went over some Amos. It was pretty cool cause basically what the Lord did was say what He was going to do to cities and why. So He isn't unjust about it, its like when kids ask why and parents say "cause" well God actually has this wonderful list of reasons that will make you feel bad. Israel of course had the largest list and was judged most harshly because they are God's chosen people. He even told of all the signs He sent to them and how they were ignored. Makes me wonder what our list would look like today. Would America be at the top? Cities like New York and Memphis with the longest list and most punishment. Some cities in the New Testament are said to be worse off than Sodom and Gomorrah, how bad are we?
