Amos 5:11 - Additional Comments

Many make great plans for the future, but it may not come to pass. Especially if you ignore God. With God, you can always count on great things to come, and without God, you can always count on struggles, failures, and unnecessary challenges. You need to choose today not what your future holds, but what kinds of a future you will have.
