S) "7 Surely the Lord GOD does nothing
Unless He reveals His secret counsel
To His servants the prophets."
Amos 3:7 (NASB)
O) This is such a compelling statement. Here, the LORD is doing something major and Amos is prophesying about a calamity that will come, even against the LORD's people, but in general, it's an intriguing statement. God tells His people before acting. How literally can this be taken? There isn't much room for interpretation. Even if we wanted to say it was only true concerning "major" things, that's still enough to make me want to seek the voice of the LORD everyday, really.
A) Even if this is only true for the big things, how much more important is it that I am seeking the LORD daily? And if it is truly applicable to everything the LORD does, then I should seek Him even more earnestly. Thankfully, this is a time when the Spirit of the LORD is poured out on all flesh, and by the blood of Jesus, I have been sanctified and we can all commune with Him intimately enough that He actually speaks to all of His children. It's up to me to put mysef in position, and to atune myself, to hear His voice.
P) Father, thank You for the compassion You show Your people. Holy Spirit, speak to me of the things to come, especially the things You will do in the future. Show me my part, my place in it; let me do Your will. Open my ears to hear and my eyes to see, so I do not miss it. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
