Psa 85:10 “Mercy and truth are met together;
righteousness and peace have kissed each other.”
The psalmist recounts the favors God has brought forth to
Israel when they placed themselves in God’s righteousness and truth. In (vss
9-10) it describes what God has promised for those who welcome His herald –
righteousness. Meaning the greater we seek God’s righteousness and His kingdom,
as Jesus stated (Mt 6:33), the more we will see everything work out for good in
God. But we must be cautious not to return to folly (vs 8), and make sure we’re
dwelling in the shelter and the shadow of the Almighty who is our fortress (Psa
91:1). Today’s circumstances bring clarity to this, we are not in control and
man dies. The greatest response to such truth is by placing ourselves in the
presence of Him who is and determines all!
One cannot be in the presence of God and powerless. You may still
have problems, but you now have the power and promise to prevail… HSAY
