Amos 2:6-16Israel’s crimes included the fact that they had forgotten the LORD’s role in bringing them out of Egypt and defeating their enemies. They arrogantly claimed to have done it all themselves. Then, they began to abuse their freedom by taking advantage of the poor and marginalized, ignoring the rules of sexual relationships. The LORD could not stand it anymore. He determined to bring a destructive power against them that all their strength could not resist.
LORD, help us to remember the source of our strength – and not be arrogant before you.
