“The voice of God is not being heard in this land,” says Dr. J. Vernon McGee in this study. That’s also the word Amos had for the Israelites in his day. Learn more about God’s case against Israel and the harsh judgment He has in store for all those who turn their backs on Him.

When We’re In His Presence
Suppose that in the next few minutes you were to be in God’s presence. What about it, friends? This life is past. You maybe lived to please people, tried to keep up with the Joneses. But that’s ended now, you’re in His presence. How are you going to stand before Him? Don’t you know that you can’t stand in your own strength, your own life, your own character? You and I haven’t anything to offer to Him at all. We stand before Him because He was delivered for our offences. He paid the penalty. Now we stand before Him in the righteousness of Christ. And that, my friend, is the only basis that we can stand before Him.

Daily Promises
For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones [is] as a storm [against] the wall. (Isaiah 25:4)
The Lord God Almighty is ever our bastion and bulwark of defence. As we marshal to the fore to join battle against our raging enemy, ever does the Lord's banner fly before us. As we take up the call to arms and muster to the field of our spiritual war, we take our courage in His strength-for by Him, we are become far more than mere conquerors. We are children of the King and shall ever be victorious against our foe.
Give It All To Him
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. — 1 Peter 5:7
God wants us to cast our cares upon Him so that He can help us through.

C. H. Spurgeon's Morning Reading (April 15th)
"My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" — Psalm 22:1
We here behold the Saviour in the depth of His sorrows. No other place so well shows the griefs of Christ as Calvary, and no other moment at Calvary is so full of agony as that in which His cry rends the air-"My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" At this moment physical weakness was united with acute mental torture from the shame and ignominy through which He had to pass; and to make His grief culminate with emphasis, He suffered spiritual agony surpassing all expression, resulting from the departure of His Father's presence. This was the black midnight of His horror; then it was that He descended the abyss of suffering. No man can enter into the full meaning of these words. Some of us think at times that we could cry, "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" There are seasons when the brightness of our Father's smile is eclipsed by clouds and darkness; but let us remember that God never does really forsake us. It is only a seeming forsaking with us, but in Christ's case it was a real forsaking. We grieve at a little withdrawal of our Father's love; but the real turning away of God's face from His Son, who shall calculate how deep the agony which it caused Him?
In our case, our cry is often dictated by unbelief: in His case, it was the utterance of a dreadful fact, for God had really turned away from Him for a season. O thou poor, distressed soul, who once lived in the sunshine of God's face, but art now in darkness, remember that He has not really forsaken thee. God in the clouds is as much our God as when He shines forth in all the lustre of His grace; but since even the thought that He has forsaken us gives us agony, what must the woe of the Saviour have been when He exclaimed, "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"
