—Amos 5:6-7, 10-13
by: Paula Davis.
Amos warned against turning “justice into wormwood” (v.7). Wormwood is a woody shrub with a bitter, aromatic taste. I do not know about you, but that is not something I want to be associated with! Unfortunately, I know at times I have been a party to turning a situation bitter. How about you? It is certain, in those times, that we have not been seeking the Lord and His justice, but our own selfishness instead. Today let us each look for ways to bring sweetness instead of bitterness to situations we encounter and drop a bit of joy everywhere we go.
