DAILY SHOWER August 28, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: Life giving God
Text: Amos 5:1- 10 (NIV):
"5:1. Hear this word, O house of Israel, this lament I take up concerning you:
5:2. "Fallen is Virgin Israel, never to rise again, deserted in her own land, with no one to lift her up."
5:3. This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "The city that marches out a thousand strong for Israel will have only a hundred left; the town that marches out a hundred strong will have only ten left."
5:4. This is what the LORD says to the house of Israel: "Seek me and live;
5:5. do not seek Bethel, do not go to Gilgal, do not journey to Beersheba. For Gilgal will surely go into exile, and Bethel will be reduced to nothing."
5:6. Seek the LORD and live, or he will sweep through the house of Joseph like a fire; it will devour, and Bethel will have no one to quench it.
5:7. You who turn justice into bitterness and cast righteousness to the ground
5:8. (he who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns blackness into dawn and darkens day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land--the LORD is his name--
5:9. he flashes destruction on the stronghold and brings the fortified city to ruin),
5:10. you hate the one who reproves in court and despise him who tells the truth."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Life is a good thing. We all love to have it. But it is only Jesus Christ who can make it possible. We thank God for gift of life to grace to today. Hence, we have no other justification or reason not to serve Him alone. He brings justice to those desiring it. Do not deny those around you justice because God will likely pay you back angrily.
