Dressers of Sycamores
“I am a herdsman and a dresser of
sycamores”
-Amos 7:14
Amos speaks blunt truth in
humility
And being commanded from
the fields to the roads
To remind us of our duties
to God and His People
Is a disruption, not a
promotion
We all dress sycamores in our
own ways:
Carrying groceries,
tending the sick
Plowing a field, repairing
a broken truck
Mending a fence, taking a
child to school
We should listen to Amos
and to ourselves
For our service is noble
if for the King
