How do we hear the voice of God?
Amos’s prophecy makes it clear that Israel has failed to do that, although the people have had plenty of opportunities. Their failure is a lesson to us, and a challenge as well. God is active in our lives but it takes spiritual discernment to see his hand at work.
A humble and repentant heart is the starting point.
