Psalm 85
-Theme: From
reverence to restoration. Forgiveness is the result of repentance, which leads
to redemption, lovingkindness, truth, righteousness, peace, and God’s glory.
-Historical Insight: This is another Psalm of the sons of
Korah for the choir director in Temple worship. These again were the Temple
assistants and servants of the most high LORD.
-*Application* Our spiritual lives need revitalization
periodically when we fall out of favor with our God and King. The reverence for
Him and desire for closeness has everything to do with His blessings and peace
of our lives. He is the only One who can cover and forgive our sins and make us
clean again with His holy righteousness. This is where our ultimate joy, hope,
and love are found and abound. Once we have His presence living in us and
setting us free from sin, it is foolishness and folly to go back to wayward
paths, which lead us into danger, terror, and disaster. Don’t drive a wedge in
your fellowship with your Creator. We give God His due glory when we abide in
His truth, which leads to His salvation and a life well lived. “Indeed, the
LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its produce (Psalm
85:12).” God is the only One who is totally righteous and He is THE way (Psalm
85:13, John 14:6).
