Daily Bible Reading— October 2024, God’s Guiding Word: Justice and Peace

DAY 28 OF 31

October 28

Introduction

Amos 6:1–14: Today’s reading once again points to the luxurious lifestyle of the leaders of Israel. Instead of feasting, the prophet warns that they should be preparing for the impending destruction and occupation by a foreign army.

Today’s Key Verse: Amos 6:12b

[The LORD says:] “You have turned justice into poison, and right into wrong.”

Reflect

According to verses 1–7, how is the luxurious lifestyle of the people described and denounced by Amos? What will happen to them? What does God despise? How do you envision a world in which true justice prevails?

Pray

Sovereign God, teach me the way of your truth and show me where I can turn what is wrong into what is right. Open my eyes to injustice and help me be an instrument of your healing, mercy, peace, and love. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Amos 7:1–17: Amos is shown visions of Israel’s punishment.
