Here are words of Joel and Amos that stood out to me in today’s scripture reading:
Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.” (Joel 2:13)
And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Joel 2:32a)
Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you, just as you say his is. Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts… (Amos 5:14-15a)
But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! (Amos 5:24)
