READ/HEAR: Amos 5-7

LSU pursued a football trophy. Money managers pursue profitable stock picks. Hackers pursue private technology information. Gym rats pursue a healthy, beautiful body. Hungry babies pursue mother’s milk. TV networks pursue ratings. Cops pursue bad guys. Most people have a constant pursuit in life.

As Amos delivered his message to the people of Judah, the southern kingdom, he identified a noble pursuit … GOOD. In verse 15 of chapter 5, he espouses hating evil and loving, pursuing what’s good and right.

When we wake up each morning we set the tone for our day. Establishing the quest for what’s good and right pleases the Lord. Putting Christ first in every decision will aptly fulfill this goal. As the Psalmist said, “Lead us in paths of righteousness for Your Name’s sake.”

Pursue GOOD today.
