There were many prophets of God from the Old Testament. All had one thing in common–they were obedient. Amos did not see himself as a prophet. “I was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees.  But the Lord took me from tending the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ Amos 7:13-15. No training, no history or inheritance of prophecy. A shepherd. Called him to speak to the people God loved and who Amos loved. God had plans for his work. All Amos had to do was obey and trust. God chose him to declare His love and justice to the people. When He called Amos to trust Him and obey Him, God showed him the moral life to follow. God is calling us to t

Seek good, not evil, that you may live.
Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you,  just as you say he is.
Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts.
Perhaps the Lord God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.”

Amos 5:13-15
