“But let justice run down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream [flowing abundantly].” (Amos 5: 24 AMP). In the year 760 B.C., the prophet Amos pinned these words in a call to repentance for an idolatrous people. An ungodly, oppressive people ripe for the judgments of a holy God. But now in the year 2021, can it be that the arc of moral justice is bending toward righteousness? In Brunswick, GA, three white men were found guilty of murder in the death of a black man, Ahmaud Arbrey. These men were found guilty by a jury whose racial make-up was of such that it caused many to wonder if they could render a fair and just verdict. But there is a God that says: “let justice run down as waters and righteousness as a mighty stream.”
We are moving to “He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” (Micah 6: 8).
Keep the faith.
Pastor J Amos Jones
