Amos 5-15
Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts. Perhaps the LORD God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
—Amos 5:15
Thoughts on the Verse
While we teach our children that we must not hate people, we also must teach them to loathe injustice, evil, prejudice and the mistreatment of the weak. Amos reminded Israel that God demands justice be administered fairly for both rich and poor, resident and alien. Their repeated refusals of God's will in these areas brought destruction upon their land .
Prayer
Holy God, I know you are furious at the injustice in so many lands and are enraged at the ethnic hatred setting our world ablaze. Please make your people, your Church, a place of justice, equity, compassion, love, racial healing and hope. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
