The eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth—except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, says the Lord. For lo, I will command, and shake the house of Israel among all the nations as one shakes with a sieve, but no pebble shall fall to the ground. All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil shall not overtake or meet us.’ (Amos 9:8-10 NRSV)
Have you ever been shaken?
Has your world been turned over and over and upside down and you don’t know which way is up?
God tells us He will destroy the sinful world, and if you think you do not belong to the sinful world be prepared for some shaking. We are all sinners and when we think we are in the right and others are doomed to be cast away, that is when the sieve will get us.
You see it is not by our own power that we are able to stay in the sieve, it is by God’s… So when we rely on our own understanding and our own thoughts as to who is in and who is out we will find ourselves out because we are judging and taking the place of God.
So just wait and be shaken with the rest of us and do not judge just love as God loves you.
