On That Day...

"On that day," Amos proclaims.

On that day the grounds keepers at Mara Lago will be able to play a round of golf after their work. The dishwashers at Per Se will be able to take their family for a meal there on their day off. Part-time workers at War-Mart will have living wages and benefits.

The 55,000 homeless in LA will open their doors after a long day and get a good nights sleep in their beds. Those who need dental work will have appointments.

"...they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them."

Breathe in hope...cough a little, cause we're not used having deep breaths of hope...then get to it. It's ours to rebuild and inhabit.

Amos 9:11-15

On that day I will raise up
    the booth of David that is fallen,
and repair its breaches,
    and raise up its ruins,
    and rebuild it as in the days of old;
12 in order that they may possess the remnant of Edom
    and all the nations who are called by my name,
    says the Lord who does this.

13 The time is surely coming, says the Lord,
    when the one who plows shall overtake the one who reaps,
    and the treader of grapes the one who sows the seed;
the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
    and all the hills shall flow with it.
14 I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel,
    and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;
they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine,
    and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 I will plant them upon their land,
    and they shall never again be plucked up
    out of the land that I have given them,
says the Lord your God.
