The inhabitants of Israel were on their way to destruction, singing and celebrating all their way. The LORD told them through Amos that he hated their feasts and “worship.” It did not matter how religious they were , or how openly spiritual. They kept saying that they were looking forward to the day of the LORD, but God told them that his day would bring darkness, not light.
Forgive us, LORD, for being openly spiritual, yet inwardly selfish. Transform us by your word through the power of your Holy Spirit. You sent your Son to die for our sins. teach us how to die to them.
Amos 5
