And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. – Amos 7:15
The Lord. The Existing One. JHWH shows up to an unnamed pasture to send Amos as His prophet.
The Lord, The Existing One, JHWH shows up to take a herdsman and a tender of sycamore trees and make him the mouthpiece of almighty God.
The Lord, The Existing One, JHWH, shows up and triggers an unexpected turn of events in the life of Amos…something that bore no resemblance to his background, lineage and present circumstances.
Promotion comes not from the east or west… (Psalm 75:6)
