The scripture for today, May 24 (5/24), is Amos 5:24 as found in the Old Testament of the Bible:
Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream.”
When individuals of a nation begin taking advantage of each other, the nation loses its standard of justice. Eventually, nations fall because of it ~ maybe not right away, but eventually.
Although acting justly may decrease people’s income or status or power, that nation will roll on and on like a river.
Injustice is not impersonal. Injustice begins with you. One person at a time until Eventually, an entire nation reduces itself to a river, then a spring, then nothing. Drought. It falls.
On the other hand, justice also begins with you. One person at a time, and your nation rolls on and on like a river.
What are you doing for your nation?
