Homiletic Monthly Amos 7:2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech you… 1. The first step is humiliation. 2. The second step is reformation. 3. The third step lies in the direction of religious duty. The path of duty must be again frequented. The cross must once more be carried. Duty must become, what it once was, the paramount consideration. 4. The spirit of prayer must be sought and exercised till the blessing comes. (Homiletic Monthly.)
