Weekly Devotional – 2010 The Red Thread Series
A wonderful “Red Thread” of salvation runs throughout the Bible, and each week we are looking at a different book of the Bible to see that Thread that leads to Jesus and God's perfect plan for redeeming mankind to Himself.
JULY - WEEK ONE
Book of the Bible: Amos Theme of the Book: A man called to encourage his people to seek the one true God. His desire was to warn the nation of Israel to return to God or be judged by Him. Main Character(s): Amos, Amaziah, Uzziah (king of Judah-southern kingdom), Jeroboam II (king of Israel-northern kingdom) The “Red Thread”: Amos would prophesy that this nation would indeed return to the land in fulfilled glory…at the Second Coming of Christ, their Messiah Key Verses: Amos 5:4,6a and 9:13-15
For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel, ‘Seek Me that you may live…Seek the LORD that you may live’… ‘Behold, days are coming,’ declares the LORD, 'When the plowman will overtake the reaper And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; When the mountains will drip sweet wine and the hills will be dissolved. Also I will restore the captivity of My people Israel, And they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them; They will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, And make gardens and eat their fruit. I will also plant them on their land, and they will not again be rooted out from their land which I have given them,' Says the LORD your God.
APPLICATION:
- How earnestly am I seeking the Lord today?
- How can I be an encouragement to someone today who needs Christ’s love?
