As God’s people, our hearts should break over missed opportunities in God’s work. Especially when the work is in our own lives.
As stewards, we should be brought humbly to our knees when we see a move of God’s Holy Spirit wasted by a hard, or lazy, or distracted, or prideful heart.
Our prayer should be that the Lord would break our hearts over what breaks His heart.
In a time when God’s people were living trifling lives in God’s promise and trampling the Sabbath, God spoke through the prophet Amos to say, “The days are coming when I will send a famine through the land — not a famine of food or thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.”
1. What area of your life or spiritual walk needs more attention than you are giving it? What are you neglecting?
2. Do you interpret this word from the prophet as a shortage of God’s word or as a shortage of obedience to God’s word? Is God’s Spirit bugging you about something you are to address or has He grown silent of reminding you? What could this mean?
3. What area of your life or spiritual walk is experiencing abundance or more fruit than you have known before? Why do think this is occurring?
4. Are you ready or willing to allow this group to keep you accountable in your address your answer to question 1? Or any other area of need?
5. Close in thanksgiving prayer that we can still God’s word to us.
