Introduction

Amos 2:1–16: Today’s reading continues with pronouncements of God’s judgment. Along with Israel’s neighbors, Judah and Israel also are to be judged for their sins.

Today’s Key Verse: Amos 2:10

[The LORD said:] “I brought you out of Egypt, led you through the desert for forty years, and gave you the land of the Amorites to be your own.”

Reflect

In what ways have the people of Judah sinned? How have the people of Israel sinned? What verses speak of the ways God has cared for Israel? In what ways have you experienced God’s love and care?

Pray

Open my heart and mind, Lord, and help me to know and to do your will. Teach me your ways and help me to be an instrument of your peace. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading
