Episode 370: Amos

Today's prayer meditation is on the book of Amos

Two people cannot walk together without agreeing on the direction.
A lion doesn't roar in the thicket without first finding a victim.
A young lion doesn't growl in its den without first catching its prey.
A bird doesn't get caught in a trap that has no bait.
A trap doesn't spring shut when there is nothing to catch.
When the ram's horn blows, it is to warn the people.
Indeed, you never do anything, Father, that you haven't first revealed through your prophets.

The lion has roared, you have spoken, I cannot refuse to proclaim your message.

Father, you are the one who shaped the mountains. You stir up the winds, and reveal your thoughts to me. You turn the light of dawn into darkness and tread on the heights of the earth. You are the God of Angel Armies.

I returned to you, Father, and you brought me back to life -- life more abundant. 
You created the stars, the Pleiades and Orion. You turn darkness into morning and day into night. You draw up water from the oceans and pour it down as rain on the land. You are Lord.

You know the vast number of my sins and the depth of my rebellion, yet you chose to forgive me.

I do what is good and run from evil so that I may live! And you are my helper, just as I have claimed. I hate evil and love what is good. You pour out your mercy on me.

 

Your home reaches up to the heavens, while its foundation is on the earth.
You draw up water from the oceans and pour it down as rain on the land. You are the Lord.

You have restored my fallen house and repaired its damaged walls. From the ruins, you rebuilt my life and restored me to glory. You have called me your own. You always keep your promises. 

You have increased my good. Abundance comes in faster than I can harvest it. You have firmly planted me in your land of promise and I will never be uprooted.

So be it.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
