WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL

Week of Monday November 11 – November 17
Strange Starvation - Man as Instructor

“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God, “when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord, but they shall not find it.” - Amos 8:11-12 ESV

We all know the maxim: “Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” This rings particularly true when we consider the growing interest in socialism among young people. Many of them have been influenced by university professors and political progressives who portray socialism as a better alternative to our current system of capitalism. However, romanticizing socialism means ignoring the lessons of history and inviting disaster. I’ll never forget the images from Soviet Russia: people struggling to find food in stores with empty shelves and standing in long lines just to get a little bread. History has consistently shown that when socialism is fully implemented, it always fails and people starve. There is a better way, so starving and suffering is unnecessary!

Well, the people of Israel were also starving as a result of the policies of their leaders. Only, it wasn’t a shortage of bread or water they were facing. Instead, it was a lack of access to God’s life-giving Word. God told the prophet Amos that He was about to withhold it in judgment on a people who had turned away from their Creator.
