God's unfailing and faithful love

Psalm 85

1 You showed favor to your land, O LORD;
you restored the fortunes of Jacob.

2 You forgave the iniquity of your people
and covered all their sins.
Selah

3 You set aside all your wrath
and turned from your fierce anger.

4 Restore us again, O God our Savior,
and put away your displeasure toward us.

5 Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you prolong your anger through all generations?

6 Will you not revive us again,
that your people may rejoice in you?

7 Show us your unfailing love, O LORD,
and grant us your salvation.

8 I will listen to what God the LORD will say;
he promises peace to his people, his saints—
but let them not return to folly.

9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him,
that his glory may dwell in our land.

10 Love and faithfulness meet together;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.

11 Faithfulness springs forth from the earth,
and righteousness looks down from heaven.

12 The LORD will indeed give what is good,
and our land will yield its harvest.

13 Righteousness goes before him
and prepares the way for his steps.

Lord, let your glory dwell in our land!! "The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest!!!" AMEN!!!

Father, thank you again. Now I know how I should draw close to you in the morning. I said I was terrified this morning because I still don't know what your will is toward me. I am a man of little faith who is not familiar with your ways. Forgive my faithlessness. Cover me with your blood and salvation. I need more of your Word in my life. This morning I was wondering why I struggle... and thank you for your grace that I realized how much I need and lack you. To know you, to be familiar with your ways, to keep your lovely face ever before my eyes. Yes, Lord, let no other love competes in my secret heart. Let no rival throne survive as I serve only you!!!
