Jehovah God spoke through the Prophet Amos many years ago this admonition: “But let judgement (justice) run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.” Then, as now, justice was perverted and those who try to do right are hated for their justice. The law courts should have been, and should be, places of justice where the poor and oppressed can find relief. The unfortunate, it is as Paul says of the Law of Moses in Romans 8:3: “For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in flesh:” The basic problem of our society is sin, and our Problem Solver has dealt with this issue once and for all times. When I look at some of the lawsuits being filed today as an example, the Trump administration suing to end the National Census, the Texas GOP suing to end curbside and drive-thru voting, how needful it is for “Justice to run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.” We are not now there but this Pastor sees a reason for hope. When I see the all inclusive involvement in the protest of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and many others, one will note that the moral arc of righteousness is slowly bending toward justice for all. As was spoken by the prophet Amos “the day of the Lord” is coming and it will bring judgement (justice). In spite of everything, GOD HAS SPOKEN. As for you dear people, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” (Gal. 6:9) “The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways” (Deuteronomy 28:7) Amen.
