Week 28 of the NIV Leadership Bible focuses on the important leadership skill of Justice.
In Amos’ time, the people of Israel were prosperous…but with that prosperity, they lost their spiritual edge. God was furious with them for compromising his principles to make a dollar. Leaders who should’ve administered justice didn’t. Ultimately, God offered them an opportunity for repentance and restoration. In order to please God, the leaders needed to exercise justice and righteousness (as noted in Amos 5:24 – pictured above).
What was true in ancient Israel remains true today. People thrive in a setting where fairness and justice are practiced. How would those closest to you evaluate the way you treat people? Would they say you’re biased or that you play favorites? Or are you fair and just?
