“It will happen, if there remain ten men in one house,
that they shall die.” – Amos 6:9
When I read this verse, I picture a house filled with people, yet overshadowed by impending judgment and calamity.
**Amos 6:9** speaks to the seriousness of sin and the consequences that can follow when a community turns away from God. The stark imagery of death among those who remain in a house serves as a powerful reminder of the need for repentance and the urgency of drawing near to God. For Christians today, it encourages us to evaluate our lives and communities, ensuring that we are not complacent in our faith but actively seeking righteousness and encouraging others to do the same.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, help us to be vigilant in our faith and to seek Your guidance in all aspects of our lives. May we encourage those around us to turn back to You and live in accordance with Your will. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
