Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? Psalm 85:6
The gift of optimism is a priceless treasure. This Psalmist sees the good in the present and distant future. Sin is a thief. It leaves a path of destruction but God specializes in revival and restoration. Salvation takes care of yesterday and today and makes tomorrow possible.
It is difficult to see the good when devastation’s threat is staring you in the face daily, but Verses 10-12, bear witness to the hope we find in God’s power and glory. The people of old needed the strength of a truthful, but positive outlook and so do we.
“Love and faithfulness meet together, righteousness and peace kiss each other. Faithfulness springs forth from the earth and righteousness looks down from Heaven.”
You are Loved,
