Amos 1:1 - The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa—what he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake, when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash was king of Israel.
I wonder if Amos was surprised that he was given a prophetic vision. Assuming he wrote this introduction, he makes himself sound like just one of the guys -- just an ordinary shepherd from a little place up the road called Tekoa.
Makes you wonder what surprising things God might use you for someday, doesn't it?
