Amos | Chapter 7:10-17 Pt. IV ~ Episode 1078:
Amos response to Amaziah communicated plainly, that he was not taking any credit for the words he was speaking. Also, Amos wasn't talking for any reason, trying to impress somebody and get some notoriety and attention. He's saying and doing exactly what the Lord told / commanded him to do. Amos could be trusted by the Lord because, he chose to remain in the place of humility before the Lord. Let's choose to remain and function in like manner; so we can avoid being brought to a place that requires us to become humbled before the Lord and people.
