Today is June 29th, and we’re at day 180 in our journey through the Scriptures. I’m Heather, and I’m so glad you’re joining me and listeners from around the world as we open God’s Word to seek not just knowledge, but transformation—because these Scriptures point us to Jesus, the true source of life. In this episode, we dive into the prophetic words of Amos, chapters 4-6, reflecting on Israel’s call to true justice and righteousness rather than empty religious rituals. We find comfort in the heartfelt prayers of Psalms 86 and 87, and wisdom from Paul’s letter to Titus, chapter 1, as he instructs on godly living and leadership. We’ll talk about what God is really looking for—not grand gestures or showy worship, but hearts transformed by love, flowing with justice, mercy, and living water from Christ himself. As always, we’ll wrap up with prayer, trusting God to guide us into this new day with purpose and peace. So grab your Bible and get ready to be encouraged and challenged as we explore what it truly means to come to the water—the living water of Jesus. Let’s jump in! TODAY'S DEVOTION: What does God want to see? Big religious festivals, big gatherings of religious people, big houses, big vineyards—a big life. Is this what he wants for his people? Apparently not. The prophet Amos tells us that God is looking for something entirely different. He wants to see a heart transformed from the inside out—a heart that loves justice and mercy, having been set free from oppression, forgiven, and experiencing the fullness of God’s love. Amos 5 says, “I hate all your show and pretense, the hypocrisy of your religious festivals and solemn assemblies. I will not accept your burnt offerings and grain offerings. I won’t even notice all your choice peace offerings. Away with your noisy hymns of praise; I will not listen to the music of your harps. Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice, an endless river of righteous living.” What does God want to see? He wants to see a mighty flood of justice and an endless river of righteous living. But where does this river and flood come from? There’s only one source. It’s not our own piety. It doesn’t come from the arrogant headwaters of self. The living water God desires comes from a different source entirely—a source beyond anything we could muster: Christ Jesus, the source of all living water and life itself. In John 7:38, Jesus says, “Anyone who believes in me may come and drink. For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” The mighty flood, the torrent of righteousness, comes from him. And we must turn to him if we want to live the kind of life God desires to see. Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink—even if you have no money, come. Take your choice of wine or milk; it’s all free (Isaiah 55:1). We must come first to the water. It’s there that we are changed from the inside out by the Spirit of Christ himself, living and abiding in us. Then his living water pours out into the world through us, and it’s then that God sees what he truly wants to see: people who have been set free, helping to set others free with the love and power of Christ. God says, come back to me and live. Come to the water—his living water—and let it flow through you to a dry, thirsty, weary land. Drink deep from his well, and you will be amazed at what will happen. Life and justice will happen. That’s my prayer for my own soul today, for my loved ones, for this community, and for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And ...
