God Still Speaks Through His Prophets

Scripture:

'Indeed, the Sovereign Lord never does anything until he reveals his plans to his servants the prophets. ' Amos 3:7

Observation:

Amos had just prophesied many terrible things about Israel and the surrounding countries. He was telling God's people that judgment was coming and that God was going to be ruthless. What he is saying here is that, even in judgment, God will reveal what is coming to His servants the prophets. God has always spoken through prophets, but because the prophetic gifting has been so abused and misused, many won't listen or even believe that God still does this. God still speaks through His prophets, are we willing to listen?

Application:

Although I don't proclaim to be a prophet, I want to operate as one who brings a word from the Lord. I want to know, at all times, what God is doing and what God is saying. Therefore, I want my eyes and ears to be open so I can know what God is saying to my generation. I want to walk in God's revelation and to accurately convey what He is speaking. I want revelation from God to share with His people at all times.

Prayer:

Father, open my ears. If You are going to speak and reveal Your plans, let me a receptor. Help me to hone my listening skills as Your servant. I want to accurately represent You and what You are speaking to Your people. As You reveal things to me, help me walk in humility before You all the days of my life and to never bring shame to Your name.

Sincerely Yours,

Jeff
