Amos 6:8 says, “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever flowing stream.”

The Hebrew people spent forty years in the wilderness before they entered into the promised land. Forty years ago Martin Luther King was shot and killed. As a nation we usually honor his birth, but toady we remember his death. The great thing about Martin Luther King is that he lived a life filled with meaning and purpose and he died a death that was filled with meaning and purpose. His dream did not die when he died. In many ways his dream became a part of the fabric of our nation after he died. We still have a long way to go. There is still a gap between the way things are and the way things should be in our race relations in America and around our world. We need to close this gap and we need to find new ways to help Dr. King’s dream to become reality. We need to “let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever flowing stream.”
