A Never-Failing Stream
But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
— Amos 5:24
While many attribute this quote to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it was originally uttered by Amos, God’s spokesman over 2600 years earlier than Dr. King quoted it. God wanted his people to know that their religious pilgrimages, their sacrificial offerings, and their songs meant nothing to him if they were not backed up by a life of compassion, character, and concern. Northern Israel did not believe Amos and did not repent. Not too many years later, they were utterly destroyed because God found their hypocrisy, injustice, and abuse of the weak reprehensible.
