    Calling All Nobodies

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 2,838 views

    The idolatrous priest Amaziah tries to intimidate the prophet Amos. He did not appreciate Amos’ message against the king. But Amos wan't trying to be popular--God had called him out of an ordinary life of shepherding and gathering fruit. In other words, Amos was a nobody.

    This passage teaches us a valuable lesson: God calls and uses nobodies, those who are shunned by the world or overlooked. Amos, Moses, and David were just shepherds. Joseph was just a boy with a dream. Ruth was an outcast, an outsider. Esther was just a regular Jewish girl. These people were ...read more

Would they have to have the finest educational background, be a picture of vigor and health, and exude charisma, or would they simply have to be able to do the job, and ...read more
