Surely it would take a special kind of arrogance to presume to speak for God, but Amos does not presume to speak for God. Instead, Amos, a poor shepherd and fig farmer, faithfully says "yes" when God chooses to speak through him - despite his lack of any special religious training. Jesus likewise chose and commissioned his followers to speak for him, bringing his grace and truth to the entire world (Matthew 28:19-20). Are you willing to say "yes" to Jesus?

For Reflection:

Amos has no apparent qualifications other than the fact that God chooses him and Amos says "yes".
