God WILL judge the world and IS in control - Amos 1-4

The power of God is often displayed in how He responds to our sin and disobedience. God does not tolerate our disobedience. Thankfully His mercy makes it possible for us to continue in life, but the power of His justice still takes hold. In the last verse of chapter four in this section we see that God forms mountains and creates wind.  Note the prophets words:

Amos 4:13

For behold, He who forms mountains and creates the wind

And declares to man what are His thoughts,

He who makes dawn into darkness

And treads on the high places of the earth,

 The Lord God of hosts is His name.

 We see that He reveals to us His plans and He has the power to turn the dawn to dark. We should be thankful that God's power and justice are always balanced with His mercy and His grace.  In these first four chapters of Amos' prophecy we see a God in perfect control and judging those who disobey Him.   God is sovereign and those who fear the crisis and lack of justice in the world need to constantly remember that God is in control.   He will judge those who reject them.  Maybe now we don't see it, but we will see in in the future.   God is not slack concerning His Word.   He will fulfill it.   God, who made the mountains and the wind, will restore the earth and care for all the justice in the world.
