Seek God by seeking good. This is the command the book of Amos begs to be understood. Uniquely among the minor prophets, Amos zeros in on Israel's injustice towards the poor. He indicts them for their failure to be generous as God had been generous to them. The good news of the book of Amos is that Jesus will free his people, bring us into his kingdom, and make us his own.
