Righteousness and Peace Kiss Each Other

Love and faithfulness meet together;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
Faithfulness springs forth from the earth,
and righteousness looks down from heaven
. Psalm 85:10-11 NIV

You can’t have one without the other
All are attributes of God
If one were lacking, the others would be off balance, crooked,
like a 3-legged table or chair, unable to be used

Love, Faithfulness, Righteousness and Peace
They all work together
Like a symphony
Some are needed on earth, some are from heaven,
which by the Holy Spirit join in our hearts and lives in unison
They are used together by God to help us to serve Him

If we get out of whack with God and His attributes, we are unbalanced
We cannot be used to our fullest extent
We cannot meet with Him in His most Holy Place

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
love and faithfulness go before You
. Psalm 89:14 NIV

This is a good reminder to stay in sync with Jesus
Listen, heed, honor and obey whatever He is asking and teaching
It is there we will be our most useful and our most fulfilled
By His Holy Spirit, we can be more sensitive to our specific callings
And be more comfortable when His attributes are welcome in our lives

Drop down, ye heavens, from above,
and let the skies pour down righteousness:
let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation,
and let righteousness spring up together;
I the Lord have created it.
Isaiah 45:8
