More Woes to the Complacent

 


Woe upon woe!

 


Amos 6:4-6 (MSG)

Woe to those who live only for today,
indifferent to the fate of others …
Woe to those addicted to feeling good—
life without pain!

those obsessed with looking good—
life without wrinkles!

They could not care less
about their country going to ruin.

Woe to those who live only for themselves.

 

Good morning, Lord. I don’t want to live only for myself … teach me to live for others, teach me to live for You. Open my eyes to folks who need a helping hand, an encouraging word, or someone to speak up for them. Tune my heart to hear the wisdom of Your Word, open my ears to the nudge of Your Spirit. Empower me to be Your hands and Your feet in this busy, needy world.
