Worship into the Week- Eyes on Jesus

 

Worship into the Week-

Eyes on Jesus- Amos 6:1-7

This passage describes God's "woe" or His judgment 

to be placed on the complacent wealthy leaders 

of both Judah (Zion) and Israel (Samaria.)

Their lifestyle was focused on personal luxury and self-security.

They did not pay attention to the suffering of people 

around them and the warnings of God.

Their focus was only on themselves

and they did not use their money and power well.

Their arrogant ways led them to place a false trust

 in political and military security rather than God.

They were warned they would be the first to be exiled 

because of their hard hearts, indifference 

and moral indecency.

Oh my, this sounds like a parallel story to today's world.

A word for today?

Woe- self-focus always misses the mark.

A journey of faith keeps eyes on Jesus.

The life goal is to live and work to serve the Lord.

That is wisdom.
