Amos 6 I see pedestals today. And I hear

Amos 6

I see pedestals today.
And I hear the voice of little men from their high horses.
“Look where I am, in Zion and on Mount Samaria! I am where people long to be. Things cannot get better than this. I have reached the top”. v1-2

“Look what I have, my home, the things I have bought, how I live. I am blessed above everyone.” v4-6

“Look what I have accomplished! Look what people say about me. Listen to the praise I receive. I am walking in victory.” v12-13

We are in the days of Amos. Though maybe the voice from the pedestal is more subtle nevertheless listen and you will hear it hiding behind “Glory to God”.

It breeds complacency and a false security, v1.
Our eyes are off the trauma of the everyday man, v6. We have become more important.
If not careful we can all be ignorant to the fact that we are one step away from disaster.
One day away from an evil day, v3
Standing in the front of the queue for exile, v7
Waiting on the next move of God not realising it is a destructive move, v11

Why would God allow such a thing or even do these kind of things like stirring up trouble, v14?
It is because when He saw the pedestals and heard the voices from them He did not identify humility but pride.
Who you are is always more important to God than where you are, what you have and what you have done, even all the latter things He has helped you in!
Humble yourselves today.
Come down from pedestals. It’s dangerous up there.
