God Sees Everything
God Sees Everything

"The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake. And he said: 'The LORD roars from Zion and utters his voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the top of Carmel withers.'"
— Amos 1:1-2 (ESV)
— Amos 1:1-2 (ESV)
Amos was a simple shepherd from a small town who suddenly found himself speaking the word of God to the most powerful nations of his era. The first thing this tells us is that God is not limited to the sophisticated or the credentialed when He wants to speak. He called a farmer who raised sheep in the harsh hills south of Bethlehem. But the second — and perhaps more jarring — thing Amos's opening declares is that God has been watching. His roar from Zion means He has been aware of every injustice, every crime, every act of cruelty committed across Syria, Philistia, Tyre, Edom, Ammon, and Moab. Nothing has been hidden from Him. This should both comfort and sober us. It is comfort when we are the ones suffering unjustly. It is a solemn call to honesty when we are the ones doing wrong. God is never uninformed. He is never late. He never says, 'I didn't know that was happening.'
Take a few minutes today to sit quietly before God. Ask Him: 'Lord, what in my life have I been acting as though You couldn't see?' Then ask Him: 'Where am I suffering unjustly and needing to trust that You see?' Let both answers draw you deeper into prayer.

Prayer Focus:
Honesty before an all-seeing God. Thank Him that nothing escapes His notice, and ask Him to help you live openly before His gaze today.
