Memorize and Reflect

But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! (Amos 5:24)


Prayer Direction

Invite the Holy Spirit to search your heart and life and show you any overt or hidden injustice in your life. Pray for humility to hear and respond to God’s warnings when you are heading toward spiritual danger. Ask for the power of the Holy Spirit to fill you so your whole life reflects the heart and will of God.


“Live It!” Challenge

Sunday Study - Take time to notice how you behave at church. What is your attitude? How do you speak? How do you treat others? Where is your focus? Then, watch yourself during the week. Ask God to help you live a consistent life where worship, service, compassion, and kindness mark all you do…every day of the week.
