among the shepherds

IMG_1202Amos 1:1-2:5

Amos’ knowledge of shepherding was one of the ways he made his message understandable.  His message spoke deeply to the spiritual and political lives of the time.  In this first message he condemns the false shepherds in  the neighboring nations (of Israel).  He tells them that the LORD refuses to back down.  Judgments will take place because the leaders of those nations have done wrongly.

LORD, we want to take seriously our roles as leaders of the flocks among us, and our responsibility to others as ell.
