Scripture Reading
Amos 5:24
But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
Reflection
Amos spoke these words to a prosperous nation that had confused religious ritual with genuine faithfulness. True worship, the prophet insists, is measured by how the vulnerable are treated, not by the grandeur of ceremonies. The image of justice as a river is compelling — rivers do not politely request passage but carve their way through stone. Ask today where God may be calling you to be part of that current.
Prayer for Today
Father God, thank You that You are the One that pardons guilty sinners, like me who are unworthy to so much as approach Your perfect righteousness. By rights, I should be excluded from Your presence forever, for I am guilty of so many of my sins and should stand condemned and exposed before You, who is a perfect and holy God. And yet in Your grace and mercy, You reached down from heaven to save a guilty sinner and sent Jesus to die on the cross so that by believing on Him, I would not perish but have everlasting life.
Thank You, Lord, for Jesus, Thank You for dying on the cross and shedding Your blood for me. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
