Amos, Man of My People

I have been watching over Amos as he tends to his flocks and lives out the covenant and lives by my word throughout his entire life.  He realizes the wrongs that the greedy people of Israel have made and tries to tell them that if they are too greedy, their wealth will not last and they will experience how the beggars and lower class feel.  They need to give to charity and help them by giving them food, drink, clothing, and shelter.   As God, I like watching that Amos practices what he preaches instead of just saying words and not applying them in action.  Amos lives as an example of what I want the greedy and sinners of Israel to follow as well.  Without people like Amos, Israel would never have turned back and followed the covenant like they were told to do.  Amos, you are an inspiration to many people.

My Vision of God's Woes

While sleeping, I had a vision that God came to me and told about his Woes on Israel.  He is done with us not following his teachings and will destroy Israel and its crops and livestock.  We need to turn back to the covenant and not be so greedy.  One of the consequences is spreading a wave of locusts on the first season crops that the king demands he has.  We need to stop being greedy and not just focus on material things and fancy furnishings. We need to care for the poor people of Israel and God will begin to forgive us.  We promised we would stay lawful and obey the covenant and we have let God down by turning from it.  We are his chosen people and we should be following what our Lord says, and not listen to false gods.  God will strike us with regret and exile if we do not turn back to him and his teachings.

The Women Of Samaria and the Greedy People of Israel

I was herding my sheep, and tending to my fig tree today, when I thought about how horrible Israel's greed is and how no one helps the poor, even when they are wealthy.  We have turned ourselves against God and have not given our attention and care to the poor people of Israel.  The women of Samaria are sitting in their fancy new homes and waste their money on non-needed items and vanity. With all of their money, they could be giving money to poor beggars and providing meals, shelter, and clothing.  Their wealth will not last forever if they keep wasting it on needless and foolish items, and they will pay the price of being greedy later in their lives when they are no longer rich and powerful. We need to turn back to God and follow his teachings and his laws because if we do not, we will be punished harshly and hurt for our wrongs.
