Famine

Famine. It’s coming. 

An odd theme to consider in the middle of Thanksgiving season. But there it is. In my daily Bible reading.

Amos the herdsman delivers this word of the Lord. To a people nonchalant. Complacent. And ultimately resistant. 

Unwilling to repent. 

And this is no scarcity of grain in lean years. Nothing like the famine of Joseph’s day.

Living bread

The crowds follow the fragrance. Looking for bread. Multiplying in His hands.

Fresh bread from the Master draws them. Like hot loaves from the oven.

But then. He speaks. Hard words. Strange to their ears. Threatening their loyalties.
