The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa
Amos 1:1a
The first three chapters of Amos are part of the message of judgement that the prophet delivered to the nation.
The interesting thing about Amos is that he wasn't a professional prophet. Amos was a shepherd from Tekoa.
Amos was a simple guy trying to make a living in the suburbs of the big city when God called him. Amos responded by becoming a messenger (prophet) for God for a short period of time.
Responding to God's call to action in your life does not have to mean a life time commitment. Amos is proof that sometimes God calls you to do odd jobs for a short period of time.
When is the last time you answered the call?
