Book of Amos Reflection: Whom Will You Serve

Choose this day whom you will serve….


How easy it is to forget

to be so caught up and consumed

with the things of the immediate

that our worlds become quite small.

Unaware and unaffected

we can’t see past ourselves at all.


But beyond our own backyards

and far from our four walls

a whole wide hurting and broken world is waiting.

For healing. For hope.

For truth. For life.


Oh Lord, give us eyes to see

the things that matter most to Thee.


To loose the chains of oppression

To care for the widow and the orphan

To open the eyes of the blind and to set the captives free.


By the power of your Holy Spirit

help us to be a reflection of you in all that we say and all that we do.

Whatever you ask and whenever you call

may our answer always be-

Here I am. Send me.
