The prophecy delivered through the prophet Amos gives a terrifying outlook of there being a lack of the word. The idea that people would hunger and thirst for the word and that they would not be able to find it seems so outlandish in a world where the Bible is the greatest-selling book of all time. The scripture reads:
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.” - Amos 8:11-12
Nevertheless, this was the reality faced by the people of Israel in that day. There is a cost for not understanding, meditating on, and believing in the word of the Lord. Lack of intimacy with the word is a key cause of the many battles faced in this day and age.
