Friday, August 24: Amos 8 - Cheating.

God confronts Israel for their cheating… sellers cheating buyers, skimping on weight, adding fillers, etc. It is too easy to dismiss this as bad people doing bad thingsbbut they were religious people.

God’s not so subtle Word came to me, “Bill, this is My time with you. This is My Word to you. Don’t cheat, or better, be honest in your dealings with others.”

Lord, it is much easier to point fingers at others than to be honest in examining our own lives. Forgive me, Lord.

I have prayed before and I continue praying… Lord, make me a man of integrity in every area of my life! Through Jesus, I pray. Amen.
