2024 TEENS VOLUME RHAPSODY OF REALITIES – MESSAGE.
In the tenth verse of Psalm 85, the Psalmist prophetically paints a beautiful picture: “Mercy
and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed.” The Hebrew word translated “mercy” is ‘chesed,’ which is often translated as “lovingkindness.” What we have as lovingkindness in the Old Testament is the equivalent of grace in the New Testament.
It represents God’s unmerited favour, and this lovingkindness was often expressed through covenants. The New Living Translation calls it “unfailing love” because it was based on the unbroken covenant God had with His people, making it reliable and trustworthy: “Unfailing love and truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed” (Psalm 85:10 NLT).
The Apostle Paul, in Romans 5, speaks of this when he says, “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). Thus, the psalmist’s prophetic words are fulfilled in us today, the new creation in Christ. In us, grace and truth have come together, and righteousness and peace have embraced. Praise God!
Why is this so important? In those times, people were mostly farmers, and their prosperity often depended on the land. The Bible says, “Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yes, the LORD shall give what is good; and our land shall yield its increase” (Psalm 85:11-12). This was how the psalmist could relate to it, and it was still prophetic in his time.
This shows the relationship between God’s blessings, salvation, and righteousness with the land, meaning your nation or country. They are key to what happens on earth. In other words, because of grace and truth, righteousness and peace, there will be prosperity, wholeness, and wellness on earth. Hallelujah!
