Therefore thus will I do unto you, O Israel: and because I will do this unto you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.
All Commentaries on Amos 4:12 Go To Amos 4
Thomas Aquinas
AD 1274
And thus even the good movement of the free-will, whereby anyone is prepared for receiving the gift of grace is an act of the free-will moved by God. And thus man is said to prepare himself, according to Proverbs 16:1: "It is the part of man to prepare the soul"; yet it is principally from God, Who moves the free-will. Hence it is said that man's will is prepared by God, and that man's steps are guided by God.
