SCRIPTURE: Amos 6:14
VERSE FOR TODAY: God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we have fled to take hold the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged ( Hebrew 6:18, New International Version).
HYMN FOR TODAY: " Praise to the Lord, the Almighty"

Amos had much bad news to report to his listeners. The first and last verses of today"s Scripture remind them of the source of information _ _ _* The Lord God All - Powerful,"
The first time the title, " The Lord God All-Powerful,"was used to identity God was in Genesis 17:1, when He appeared to Abraham. This began  His covenant with the future nation of Israel. Many wonderful promises were made that day. "The Lord God All-,Powerful" kept His covenant. Along with all the good conquences, if the covenant was broken.
Amos mentions "The Lord God All-Powerful" nine times throught out the nine chapters of his book. He depends on the name behind All the promises; both the good and bad consequences of the covenant. Will you trust "The Lord God All-Powerful today!
PRAYER THOUGHTS: Lord God All- Powerful, we recognize the power and character behind Your name. Thank You for keeping Your promises Help us to keep our part of the covenant we made with You. Amen.
