SCRIPTURE: PSALM 85
MEMORY VERSES:
“Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land. Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other. Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest” (Psalm 85:9-11)
God had shown favor to Israel by forgiving their sins and restoring them back. When the refugees got back to their land, life was different. They needed God to revive them, show His unfailing love and grant them salvation. He emphasized that with God’s love, we must be faithful to Him. And with His righteousness, we can experience peace.
THOUGHTS:
Our church and family also need revival. We should ask God to give us a fresh touch of His love so that we can renew our love for Him.
There is no escape for trouble or pain in this world. The only way to find relief is to cry out for God’s help and acknowledge His greatness with the conviction that He will answer our prayers. Then we will be able to sustain in difficult times.
