Verse from Amos

“耶和华对以色列家这样说：“寻求我，就必存活；”

阿摩司书 5:4 

“For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel, "Seek Me that you may live.”

Amos 5:4 

God is the life-giver. We will find life in no other. But as sinful creatures, our hearts are naturally prone to wander from our Creator. Our souls were made to pursue God, know God, and walk with God—nothing else. It's only as we pursue Him that we live. 

In the book of Amos, God tries over and over again to get the attention of His people. He allows them to experience famine, drought, and pestilence and yet, as God says in Amos 4:11, "... you did not return to me." But Amos 5:4 reminds us of where life is found. God says, "Seek me and live." These words should get our attention. We will only find life in seeking Him.
