Love and faithfulness meet together, righteousness and peace kiss each other.
Psalm 85:10 NIV
This verse of a Psalm, for the director of music, tucked away in prophecy of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, just before beginning Lamentations, is a verse that could easily be lightly read. Give it a moment of consideration and realize that this Psalm does point to Jesus and many of His attributes.
Jesus, as Son of God, set the bar high in his display of perfect love and faithfulness to his Father's plan, and in service to us. Certainly love and faithfulness, together, met in the body of Jesus Christ.
That love and faithfulness still meet us today, for Jesus left his Holy Spirit to seal us and to meet us where we are to direct our steps and to show us light in this dark world.
By the action of Jesus, we are made righteous and can meet united by the Spirit together before God and as a result have peace; the peace that is above all human understanding.
Today, one verse in our reading, Psalm 85:10, is a short 11 word verse, that carries a deep message that does point to Jesus and does list attributes of God.
Pray before you read your bible that the Spirit will shed light on the words. Reading the Bible is definitely a Spirit led activity.
What kinds of things do you pray about?
How do you pray before you open the bible to read?
Pray that the Spirit gives you the time to read your bible.
In Christ,
David P
