Day 272 (Friday) - Joel 2:18-3:21; Amos 1-4

I love the book of Amos because he is a regular guy and I can relate to that.

Sometimes we think we are a "just-a"! We are just-a salesman, teacher or housewife. Amos would be considered a "just-a." He wasn't a prophet or priest or the son of either. He was just a shepherd, a small businessman in Judah. Who would listen to him? But instead of making excuses, Amos obeyed and became God's powerful voice for change.

God has used "just-a's" such as shepherds, carpenters, and fishermen all through the Bible. Whatever you are in this life, God can use you. Amos wasn't much. He was a "just-a." "Just-a" servant for God. It is good to be God's "just-a."
