Psalm Chapter 85 KJV

King James Version, Holy Bible

Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.


Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.

Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?


More Psalms Chapter 85 (Old Testament, King James Bible)

Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.

I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.

10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

12 Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.

13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps. 


Psalm Chapter 85 Devotional: His Righteousness

Thought for the day: We were saved through the righteousness of the son Jesus

Message:

This psalm speaks about many things that we need to consider: the faithfulness of the past, how they were saved from the slavery land to the land of promise and from there. He expressed the anger of God and begged God to forgive man and give us His salvation, but when he got to verses ten to twelve, he started emphasizing on righteousness. 

Check it out.

Righteousness will look down from heaven. Wow! Despite His anger toward mankind, righteousness will still spring out of His throne, this is amazing.

The second point is:

Righteousness shall go before Him and set us in the way of His steps: Because of His anger towards man, righteousness is needed and for what purpose, to set man in His way, to bring man back on his fit, to save man from the anger of God. If this is it, then it is important for us to know what righteousness is.

Righteousness is a free gift of God. Humanly speaking, man cannot be righteous. Jesus brought our righteousness and gave it to us. See 2Corinthians 5: 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. God was in Jesus, and by His righteousness, He brought us to God in Him, we became the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and His righteousness saved us from the anger of God because Jesus paid the penalty of sin for all.

I wonder how man would have faced the wrath of God if Jesus didn’t come to intervene, see this scripture:

 1Peter 3:18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit.

We were unrighteous. He gave His righteousness to us to grant us access to the Father. May I say at this juncture that the fruit of righteousness is holiness to God and godliness to the people. If you claim to be righteous, you must portray holiness and godliness.


My Counsel and Homework

Ø  Appreciate the work of righteousness that Christ did for us.

Ø  Always remember that the fruit of righteousness is holiness and godliness, be holy and be godly

Ø  Jesus has saved us from His anger, don’t go back to your sin anymore, be holy says the scripture.

Declaration

Father, I appreciate your work of righteousness, I was once in the darkness but you saved me by your mighty hand, I choose to stay in you, and I will cherish this love forever. Thank you, Jesus. .
