Which Bible character would you most likely to be best friends with?
I say Amos. He was a hard-working farmer a true-blue collar man, “The salt of the earth type person.” He said it himself,” “I’m neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet.” He had no training as a prophet, and he wasn’t seeking to be one. God called him and he immediately stopped what he was doing and left to the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Thus showing that God can use anyone – even me.
