SEEK THE LORD THAT YOU MAY LIVE (Amos 5:4) God uses ordinary people to carry out His extraordinary mission. God sometimes allow us to go through uncomfortable situations so that we can put trust in Him. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHAT THE LORD IS SAYING Remember that it is you, not anyone else, to whom the Lord is speaking. Realize that you must be prepared to meet the Lord. ALIGN YOURSELVES WITH THE LORD ON GOOD AND EVIL Recognize that God may view good and evil differently from how we perceive them. Recognize that anything that is not in line with the Lord's standard is crooked. SEEK THE LORD TO USHER IN A TIME OF UNPRECEDENTED FAVOR Because God is unhappy with your relationship with Him and the people around you, your religious practices are not appealing to Him. Once God's time is set in motion, the subsequent events will occur swiftly and without any delay.
