Good Monday morning!
Welcome to the 15th week of 2023.
Amos 5:24 says, “But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!”
Some similar verses from the Bible:
Micah 6:8 – “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
Isaiah 1:17 – “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.”
Proverbs 21:3 – “To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.”
Psalm 33:5 – “The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.”
Isaiah 56:1 – “This is what the Lord says: ‘Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed.'”
Let’s put all these verses in the “Bible poem blender” … here we go!
Rivers of Justice: A Monday Morning Bible Poem.
Let justice roll on like a river,
Righteousness like a never-failing stream.
For this is what the Lord requires of us,
To act justly and to love mercy, is God’s central theme.
Learn to do what’s right and just,
Seek justice with unwavering trust.
Defend the oppressed and care for the weak,
Take up the cause of those in need, and let them speak.
To do what’s right and just, the Lord demands,
More pleasing to Him than compromise’s strands.
He loves righteousness and justice’s ways,
Unfailing love filling the earth’s vast array.
Let us emphasize His divine call,
Justice rolling like rivers, never to stall.
Righteousness flowing, a never-failing stream,
His glory, like the sun, on us will beam.
May we seek justice and love mercy too,
Walking humbly with Him, in all we pursue.
For His Kingdom is near, let us prepare,
To live with Him, in a world beyond compare.
Let us uphold these values with all our might,
For His righteousness will soon be revealed, bright.
Let’s kick off this week with a roll of justice like a river!
