Amos 6:1-4
King James Version (KJV)
6 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
2 Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
My reflection: I interpret this passage to be a warning. It instructs us to not be prideful and think we are better than our neighbor. It cautions us to not get complacent or lazy, and to not be wasteful of the blessings that are given to us. My thoughts are simply "OK." That's it. No burst of insight, no relate-able personal anecdote.... Nope. I "got nothin'." (Shrug) How about you?
