Amos 4:11-13
11 “I overthrew some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a firebrand plucked from the burning; yet you have not returned to Me,” says the Lord. 13 For behold, He who forms mountains, and creates the wind, who declares to man what his thought is, and makes the morning darkness, who treads the high places of the earth— the Lord God of hosts is His name."

As we are brands plucked out of the fire of certain judgement, rescued as Joshua in Zechariah 3:2 was taken from destruction for God's purpose, so we must turn to Him continually. This is the God of all living who makes high mountains, makes wind we cannot see, and even knows all we think. He brings light that is good into darkness and lowers the pride of men and Angels. His name is holy, and we called by that same name are to be holy just as He is. How can we not follow after Him as we run the race Paul spoke of?
Zechariah 3:2. And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?”
