The psalms are an art form. They express the feeling...the emotion...wrapped up in living life. They capture the tension of man living in the pull between Heaven's leadership and a fallen earth's daily reality. As we read through the psalms this summer we see the battle raging. Will man trust in the God who made him and desires to lead and protect him...or will he trust in what God has created instead. When the enemies of God show up how will he respond?
-
Psalm 85 provides encouragement to the people of God who have turned away, but now are returning to Him because they realize that life doesn't go well apart from a close trust in the Lord.
-
Consider the beauty that can flow when the people of God are in harmony with Heaven:
-
Psalm 85:-
9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
11 Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from the sky.
Surely this poetry paints the harmony of heaven that God intends for us. Such good outcomes when our faith matches His faithfulness!
