Verse 23Take away from me the noise of your songs; I will not listen to the melody of your harps. Verse 24But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an everflowing stream.
Devotion
God’s plea for us is the same as God’s plea lifted up through Amos to people centuries before Christ. God’s plea is for us to be just and righteous. Our response to God’s gracious gift of creation and love is to strive to be loving and fair-minded people. That kind of living is a faithful expression of our worship and praise.
Prayer
Transforming God, the changes we try to make to become more like you and walk in your way are more difficult than making “offerings” to you. Help us to do your will in this world. Amen.
