God's Word for Wednesday, 1/8/20

Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Amos 5:14-15 KJV


Seek good and not evil— and live! You talk about God, the God-of-the-Angel-Armies, being your best friend. Well, live like it, and maybe it will happen. Hate evil and love good, then work it out in the public square. Maybe God, the God-of-the-Angel-Armies, will notice your remnant and be gracious.
Amos 5:14-15 MSG

That is an interesting statement. Don't know why it strikes me that way; but it does.

God’s Word is like that: the Holy Spirit quickens certain passages for His reasons, in different seasons. Rejoice, rather, that your spirit is responsive to His prompting. 😊
