““I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt.
I have slain your young men with the sword,
and have carried away your horses;
and I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp,
yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.” – Amos 4:10
When I read this verse, I am reminded of God’s discipline and longing for His people to turn back to Him despite the difficulties they face.
Amos 4:10 reveals God’s desire for His people to return to Him even in the midst of trials and hardships. As Christians, we can apply this by reflecting on our own lives and seeing if there are areas where we have strayed from God. Let us not wait for calamity to strike before turning back to Him, but seek Him wholeheartedly in all circumstances.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, help us to recognize Your discipline as an expression of Your love and mercy. May we have the humility to repent and turn back to You, seeking Your guidance and presence in our lives. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
