Amos 4- Wants to be Known

 ”He is here: the one who forms the mountains, creates the wind, and reveals his thoughts to man, the one who makes the dawn out of darkness and strides on the heights of the earth. The Lord, the God of Armies, is his name.“

‭‭Amos‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

God continues to list out the ways He has attempted to get the attention of His people in ch4.  But, at the end He describes Himself…He tells about what he has made, His power to change and create…but then most astonishingly He says He wants us to know His thoughts!

That may seem insignificant to us as we know that is how to make friends and enjoy one another.  Telling others what we think is natural in close relationships…The reason this is mind blowing to me is that it would be similar to me making a fleet of paper airplanes, then gathering them together to tell them what I think.  That is the vast difference between us and God.  Yet that is exactly what He does!

Lord, you put so much effort into helping me understand who you are, and often I take it for granted.  I don’t realize how incredibly precious we are to you.  Help me to value Your Word and our time together in prayer as much as You do!  Let it be the most important part of my day!!!
