The scripture for today, May 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 someone’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, then eventually an entire nation falls. On the other hand, justice also begins with you. One person at a time, and the nation rolls on and on like a river.
What are you doing for your nation?
