Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry His Word with us wherever we go.
This week we will work to memorize our key verse for the book of Amos, God’s declaration for righteousness and justice to flow.
“But let justice flow like water, and righteousness, like an unfailing stream.”
—Amos 5:24

Kelly H – in the youversion Bible app, the verse of the day is always made into various images you can use. You can also make your own by highlighting any verse and a pop up screen at the bottom will appear and you can chose a background & font, etc. these are both square images so for phone backgrounds I’ll usually search Pinterest or create my own in Canva! Hope this helps! There are so many resources out there! We are blessed!
Traci Gendron I am praying for you
Cee Gee thanks for sharing this version I love it
♥️
Thank you Dorothy for the scriptures. There is an offering that God will reject and may we not worship and pray amiss. May the offering we give is what pleases the Lord, from a broken heart and a humble spirit. Thank you dear Searching and other ladies for always being there with your faithfulness in intercession and covering our community in prayers. You dear she’s are a gift from God to me and many many others. Happy Pentecost Sunday dear she’s. May the power of the Holy Ghost come on us strongly as a drunken spirit that we might speak and move with authority for His glory. Praying for you and your families. Be blessed dear sisters❤️✨✨.
Fall on me o breath of God. Only you can bring justice.
Amen ❤️
DOROTHY – thank you for the scriptures. Really makes you think about how you’re living. I had a hard time at church today. A couple songs had me in tears. I felt like I couldn’t get my breath. That hasn’t happened to me in awhile. It has been a year and half since Tanner passed. Grief comes out of nowhere.
Good Afternoon She’s and Happy Pentecost Sunday!! Let the Spirit fall on us, and be JOYFUL in the Lord!
These verses seem so relatively simple; help the poor, be fair and just, merciful….I mean, we “know” this as Christian, and as “decent” people…right? Yet…we have gone askew. We have tried to better ourselves despite who we step on or move aside, we say something derogatory or in a whisper against someone, or pass by quickly and turn our head on the homeless, hungry or poor?! We allow others to stand up or speak up for the silent. We have gotten lazy, or on a different path. Hmmm. It’s hard, the life given to God- it comes sometimes with persecution or accusations, snide remarks, or backlash. But God tells us, and Paul reiterated over and over, that we must die to ourselves, be in an upside-down world, and “take heart,” have courage. Let God fight our battles helping us, guiding and directing through the Holy Spirit. The only way we can do this is being close to him, in the word, knowing the armour, and clinging to Jesus! Lets pray for each other. Lets be the Light in the dark! I want to make a difference of a life well done for you Lord. You have saved us, and are making us new in your sanctification, holy to your standards. Lord help us. I feel like I fall short most days and others on a high, filling the indwelling.
I had so many conversations with SO many different people today at church (3 services greeting and promoting small groups!). We are all on our paths, in different places and stages. Lord, meet us all where we are, in guidance and love, forgiveness and Mercy and Grace!! We need YOU Lord, boy do we need you Lord!! Make your presence come alive, Lord, shine your light upon us….
Amen and Amen.
Thank you for this, RHONDA J. I come into agreement with your prayer. Father, help us not to be just whitewashed Christians but Your hands and feet even when it is hard. May we truly love You with our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths, and let that love for You spill out of us onto others like a stream that never runs dry.
The NIVrV translation encompasses what we have read this week. I will attempt to memorize the CSB version!
“I want you to treat others fairly.
So let fair treatment roll on
just as a river does!
Always do what is right.
Let right living flow along
like a stream that never runs dry!”
Amos 5:24 NIrV
My interpretation from today’s verse. “God’s got us.” Happy Sunday sweet She’s. Its amazing how I feel when I get more than seven hours of sleep. Lately (and for a long time) I’ve been sleeping under seven hours and feeling depressed. Though I work for school, my job is year-round. And though I’m grateful, sometimes I wish I could afford to take the summer off. Maybe someday.
I will work on memorizing this today! I hope you all are having a restful Sunday!
I inquired about them awhile back. They are not providing them anymore.
I just save the image of the memory verse to my camera roll, then I make that my wallpaper for the Lock Screen. The dimensions don’t fit quite as well, but it works for me.
Love the scripture!

So sisters I decided to read a few verses prior to this — my version is NLV — here they are starting with verse 21:
21 “I hate all your show and pretense—
the hypocrisy of your religious festivals and solemn assemblies.
22 I will not accept your burnt offerings and grain offerings.
I won’t even notice all your choice peace offerings.
23 Away with your noisy hymns of praise!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24 Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice,
an endless river of righteous living
Tyndale House Publishers, Holy Bible: New Living Translation (Carol Stream, IL: Tyndale House Publishers, 2015), Am 5:21–24.
God was upset with the Israelites for straying, I wondering how many times I’ve strayed and He has gotten upset with me!????
Father God please forgive me for straying, worshipping other idols, thinking I know what is best for me and most of ALL NOT following your ways. Thank You for sending Your Son to die for my sins. And thank You for send Your Holy Spirit to dwell in me to help to stay on the proper path. Amen.
Amen.
Thank you KELLY (NEO) for reminding us that today is Pentecost Sunday.
Praying for travel safety for MERCY, my friends & family and others traveling this weekend.
Justice flowing like water…water flows from high places to low places…justice flows from the Father to the “least of these”
Happy Pentecost Shes
Let the Spririt fall!
Kelly H – lock screens are in the app. For m there
Is no picture showing up but empty space. But hen I tap on it, it saves it to my phone.
Good morning! I went back and read verses 21-24. The Israelites were just going through the motions because they thought it would appease God. They were giving good things to God but for all the wrong reasons. Their hearts were divided.
For justice to flow like water and righteousness like an unfailing stream, God has to first have my heart. Without a heart totally devoted to him everything else is just “going through the motions”. Too many times I get it backward and try to do what I think God wants and what will make Him happy; working my way back up to the source. I need to start with the source.
Have a blessed Sunday!
Okay, it is too easy to hit “post” when trying to edit a comment on the phone. What I was asking is if anyone had seen Lock Screen pics for phones lately. I used to use the lock screens from the weekly memory verses, but haven’t seen any recently. I miss them! Hoping you all have a wonderful day!
Good morning Shes! Has anyone seen lock screen
