Amos 5:18-27
TOPIC:
GOD HATES FALSE WORSHIP
The
attitude of the Israelites in the days of Amos annoyed the Lord because they
chose to live their lives in a way that did not glorify Him. They substituted
sacrifices with piety. They felt that as long as they made sacrifices to God,
He would bless all they were doing, even when it was against His will.
Because
their religious feasts were disdainful of the Lord and their offerings a
mockery to Him, God told them that He hated all of those things.
It
is important to carefully study the way we worship God these days and compare
it with the days of Amos. Then we should ask ourselves:
Are
we any better than the people of Israel of those days?
Have
we not substituted justice and righteousness with hypocrisy?
God
will never be happy with a worship that is not rooted in the hearts of the
worshippers.
We
must therefore check our lives and redefine the sacrifices and or worship we
give God so that we do not end up missing the blessings He has in store for us.
QUESTION: How
would you honestly rate the way you worship this God you serve?
PRAYER: Remove
any form of hypocrisy in my life and give me the discipline needed to worship
You in Spirit and truth, in Jesus name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
