Seek the Lord.

Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel. Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth, Seek Him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is His Name: (Amos 5:6-8)

The prophet has good advice to his people, and all those that oppose and disobey GOD.  REPENT.  Seek Him while He may be found.  Jesus; who made all the stars, the Pleiades (Seven stars) and the stars in Orion; who watches over both day and night; and controls the waves of the seas; calls us all to repent and surrender to Him on His terms.  Just as He pronounces judgment on the Nation of Israel, and the other nations that opposed Him; so He has judged all of us and found us guilty.  Guilty of breaking His commands, guilty of unrighteousness, guilty of injustice; for we are all sinners and already condemned.  And only in Christ can we find forgiveness and be born again.  GOD tells us that we must be born again, and those who are only born once will die twice.  But He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked and is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the truth.  He says today is the day of salvation, and now is the appointed time.  Don't say no to GOD when He calls you to believe and repent that you might be saved.

I urge you to respond to GOD today; and if you are already one of His, tell others of His great Love and free gift of Salvation.

In Christ,
