Prone to wander

Our country is very much like Israel before she fell to Assyria. Some see the wickedness and long for judgment, “The Day of the Lord,” but they have no idea the misery they are wishing on themselves (Amos 5:18). Others ignore the injustices while they enjoy entertaining “worship” services in million dollar facilities (Amos 5:22-24). Some live as if life is a continuous party, enjoying luxury in denial of the state of the nation, and the needs of those around them (Amos 6:4-7). All the while God is calling out, “Return to me!” (Amos 5:4). Honor the Lord with compassion, justice and righteousness (Amos 5:24) for this is true worship.
