Seek Me and live

“For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:” - Amos 5v4

Amos, like the other prophets, is full of God’s wrath and warnings about His coming judgement. If God did not intervene and offer them hope His destruction would come and man would deserve it.

Man has two choices – life and death. There are all kinds of methods man has tried to find life, but only one way works. God could have laid out all kinds of conditions and made it dependent on man to keep them.

Praise God that He did not lay down a list of requirements. I know I could have never kept them. Praise God it is the this simple – “Seek me and you will live!”
