What does Amos 7 reveal about who God the Father is?
God is committed to Israel. He is the Lord who cares for them and calls them my people
(Amos 7:8).
God is patient. He delays judgment in response to Amos’s prayers.
God is just. Even if judgment might be delayed, it is not stopped. Sin must be punished, even the sins of God’s own people.
God reveals himself. Through the words of Amos, the Lord speaks to his people. He is not silent; he warns them of judgment and calls them to repent.
1 Le Seigneur, l'Eternel, m'envoya cette vision. Voici, il formait des sauterelles, Au moment où le regain commençait à croître; C'était le regain après la coupe du roi.
