Amos 7:1–17 (ESV)

1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, he was forming locusts when the latter growth was just beginning to sprout, and behold, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.

Psalm 81

Amos 7 has reminded us how important it is to listen to the Word of God. We need an independent voice from outside of our culture and society. Psalm 81 would be a good song to sing together with a sermon from Amos. In this song the LORD encourages his people to listen to his Word and promises them that it will go well for them if they do so.
