Daily Devo | Patience and Justice (Prophet & Loss, Amos 1:3-10)

Most of what we have been hearing from the prophets has been directed toward Israel, the people of God. Here in the opening of Amos, we see that God also has much to say to the other nations as well. We see an overflowing of violence and sin, along with incredible patience from God, a patience that was about to give way to justice.

For Reflection:

When we are tempted to think that God is slow to address the injustice we face, Peter reminds us that that the Lord is not slow, but patient, wanting to give all the opportunity to repent. (2 Peter 3:9)

- When you feel that you are being attacked or treated unfairly, what helps you to be patient, loving, and forgiving? Does it help to remember that God sees and is with you? Does it help to remember how God has been merciful to you? Is there something else that helps you to be patient and trusting in God?
