Psalm 85: 1-2, 8-13 v 11 “Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness smiles down from heaven. “
Lord you poured out blessings on your land.! Yes, you covered all their sins. Unfailing love and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed. “Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness smiles down from heaven. “Righteousness goes as a herald before Him, preparing the way for His steps. “
In Websters dictionary:-
Righteousness : acting in accord with divine or moral law : free from guilt or sin
: morally right or justifiable
a righteous decision
: arising from an outraged sense of justice or morality
righteous indignation
The idea of being free from guilt or sin is just that, a great idea. There is always a downside to life, even at Christmas time when people smile more at each other on the streets and in stores. We spend too much, eat too much and truthfully our guilt grows. Maybe that is why before the wonderful vision of righteousness and peace kissing, and the truth springing up from the earth and righteousness smiling down we need to believe that “You forgave the guilt of your people- yes you covered all their sins.
Try as we might to live with love and peace and righteousness, we need to be forgiven. Live today with a heart filled with forgiveness and then we can work on acting free from guilt and sin.
Prayer: Heavenly Father forgive us our sins today and encourage us to forgive all we mee today in the name of our savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
