Kiss

"Righteousness and peace kiss each other," Psalm 85:10.

Yes! That's what happens when God, Jehovah God, speaks peace to his people. That's what happens when God revives his people and they rejoice in him. When God shows his steadfast love. When God grants his salvation. Oh, Yeah! We will not turn back to our former follies! We want to hear you speak, O God! Your salvation comes, your glory comes to dwell in the land. Your eternal mercy and your loyalty to your people unite to yield the good. Our hope and joy lodge in your love and compassion, not in the passing fortunes of earth's power struggles. You, O God, you alone grace our land. You alone restore, you forgive, you cover our sin. Jesus is come to save us.

With a brother or sister today, even in the midst of troubles, we bask joyfully in God's sure salvation. And, together, we witness justice and peace hand in hand: Thank you, dear God!
