Happy Spring Day - Psalm 85:8-13

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, This being a leap year the first day of Spring, according to my calendar, was yesterday. Oh well, the 21st of March is still the day for me and since I was born on the 21st of December, the first day of winter, it remains. Just one of those silly things about me! Today's reading is Psalm 85:8-13, "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. Surly 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. Righteousness goes before him and prepares the way for his steps." There is something about spring flowers; daffodils, tulips, crocus, and cherry blossoms that inspire me that yes "faithfulness springs forth from the earth" and what follows after that according to the verse, "and righteousness looks down from heaven." O, the great Love of our Sovereign Lord for He "will indeed give what is good..." We moved to this area in August and by the time we had settled into our new surroundings there was no time to plant spring flowers so this year I am enjoying the flowers of other yards. The 10th verse is especially inspiring for me due to the intimacy of the words. The LORD has blessed us so much for His love and faithfulness meet together; His righteousness and peace kiss each other." How great is our LORD! Let us pray - Abba Father, all praise and glory to Your name. Thank You O LORD that You are forever loving and faithful and that You will indeed give what is good. Lord, I pray for each dear and precious sister-in-Christ that this day will be filled with Your love and faithfulness and righteousness and peace. May she see the goodness of the Lord in every area of her life. In Jesus Name, Amen. Blessings,
