people in the Bible: Amos by ric Gustafson
The name Amos means ' Carry'. The prophet Amos was one of God's humble servants. He had humble beginnings. He was a shepherd in the village of Tekoa. This village was ten miles south of Jerusalem. God spoke to Amos in a vision. That vision was to denounce idol worship and the corruption of Israel. A herdsman and a shepherd became a prophet for God and spoke with high authority. It doesn't matter to God who or what we are. All that matters to God is that we are willing to do what he asks us to do for him.
Praise God
