Today’s Thought “Smothered Chicken, A Thing of the Past” G. Ward

Amos 9:3 “Though they hide on the summit of Carmel, I will search them out and take them from there; and though they conceal themselves from My sight on the floor of the sea, From there I will command the serpent and it will bite them.”

Grandmothers and Mothers alike would begin creating an attitude for worship day around Thursday evening in times past. Children’s clothing would be mended, satisfying growth spurts uncontrollable; along with meal planning that determined who would be invited. We’ve been raised in these traditions to now more embrace ingenuity’s convenience. While spontaneity is celebrated, we’ll forget that it may disallow greater planning that perhaps serves as a moment in reflection of Who brought me thus far and insist on restoration therein (*cf. Joel 2:12).

Like the Prophet Amos, preachers of today seek to pervade on mankind the same message. To say you know Him, is to do what HE says and the chieftain of violation is furthered when worship services are forsaken (Heb. 10:25). Irresponsibility thereafter is answerable to whether an eternity exists with A Creator who never ceased in loving you.
