IS THERE A FAMINE IN THE LAND?

At times when I read and meditate the Living Word of God,  I come across scriptures that make me wish they were not there and/or certainly that they will not happen. But God's Word is truth (John  17:17) and we can't pick the parts we like and keep those and throw the parts we don't like or approve of out.   Have you ever read Scriptures that made you feel like that?  Perhaps I am alone in this so I will share a few  that seem to make me wish this way.  I love this Holy Word. It is God's communication to us that we can read, live, and trust as we live down here. It guides us (if we let it) as  we try to walk upright before God. I thank God each day for grace (among many, many other things) cause it is a road that is not smooth. It has bumps,  potholes, peaks,  valleys, puddles, road blocks, detours, exits (that you may not want to take), and don't forget the traffic. This road is busy!  So back to these Scriptures I was talking about.  The Word says  in Amos 8 :11 that the days are coming when God will send a famine into the land. Not the famine as we know it,  food or water, no not that type of famine.  A famine of hearing the Words of the Lord.  Webster's Standard Dictionary defines famine as a  critical shortage of food. A critical shortage of hearing God's Word is prophesied, could it be here now?  God says to the prophet Amos that these days are coming and that they shall wander from sea to sea and north to east, running to and fro to seek the Word but they shall not find it. This verse makes me wish for  it not to be there cause it makes me fear being in this land without being able to hear  The Word of God.   Think about that for a few minutes. I am literally trembling as I type. This causes a great amount of fear inside me. What about you? It sounds like God is preparing us for what Revelation  6:4 talks about with the rider of the bright red horse that was permitted to take peace from the earth.  This is a fearful kind of  thing as well. Read on to find out what the results of that are. What will happen to us with The Word no longer here?  Perhaps the reason  King David said in Psalm 119 :11 thy Word have I hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against thee. Is this Word hidden in your heart?  It will need to be there dwelling richly for  the time when this famine is sent into this land by God. The goats and the sheeps will be seperated by this time.  Maybe  this will be a time when the church has been raptured ( 1Thessalonians 4: 13 -18 )  and I wont even have to go through it.  I will be on the safe side like King David and hide this Word deep inside my heart so that when I read this magnificent Word I will not have to have fear. God has made promises to those who choose to believe Him and many times  His Word says " fear not".  He must have known that there would be something to fear if the Living Word is not living on the inside of you. Once you make a decision for Christ and live through Him, much is available to you.  Perhaps  the walk on this road will not be easy all the time, but you are never alone( Hebrews 13: 5-6), The Creator of the Universe cares about you.I  love,  love,  love  knowing that.  I don't mean to go on and on.  I guess this all came about after speaking recently to someone I have loved all my life and  now discovering in them an obvious disdain  for the Word of God.  I am still in shock after learning this and I began to think could this disdain or contempt for God's Word be widespread. I ask God how can this be so close to me.  He took  me to[ Amos 8:11-13. ]. Jesus said to the disciples before going to Heaven, " Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation, whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned".(Mark 16: 15-16). If I were a new Christian I would believe simply to keep from being condemned. That is the same as perishing. That sounds awful,  like burning trash or leaves or something with only ashes left.  In the end if I was wrong what harm would it have been?  I still love this person with my whole heart, and as I try to help shine the Light upon them (pray for me) I already know that this is bigger than me.  The Holy Spirit will have to be the intercessor on this one. My bottom line message will be what I know as truth and that is what John 14:6 says: "Jesus said I am The Way, The Truth,and The Life, no one comes to The Father except through me."  Selah.    I love you!!
