What does it say?
Amos pronounced woe on those who were complacent and secure, even while they ignored God’s law.
What does it mean?
Times were economically good for the nation of Israel, especially for the upper classes of society. Prosperity caused the nation’s leaders to become very comfortable, focusing on luxurious lifestyles and ignoring those about them in need. The Jews had seen God judge their neighbors, but they mistakenly believed He would spare them for the same sins. Their false sense of security resulted from placing faith in their wealth instead of God Himself. Amos warned Israel that living comfortably with their sins was not pleasing to the Lord.
How should I respond?
We have become a nation obsessed with our wealth. Even a little prosperity can turn into an unhealthy desire for more. It seems to be a part of human nature to forget about our reliance on God when all our needs are met, and our lives feel under control. God, however, is the Provider of all we have. Difficult times often serve as a healthy reminder to look to God to provide for our daily needs. What blessings might have caused you to trust your resources rather than God Himself? Let God’s provision increase your faith and trust in Him today. The Lord is always involved and always in control.

Written by the shepherd-prophet Amos, this book exposes Israel's sinful religious hypocrisy and corrupt leadership. Amos prophesies against their rejection of God's law and the terrible social injustice perpetrated against the poor and vulnerable. As Amos foretells judgment on many nations, including Israel, we are reminded of the ultimate need for restoration and the promise of greater redemption.
