Present Pairings

Faithful love and truth will join together; righteousness and peace will embrace. – (Psalm 85:10 HCSB)

God’s love will come together with His faithful people. Goodness and peace will greet them with a kiss. – (Psalm 85:10, ERV)

Unfailing love and truth have met on their way; righteousness and peace have kissed one another. – (Psalm 85:10, VOICE)

As we choose to follow God and seek to love faithfully and walk in truth, righteousness and peace seem to be present. God is faithful to meet us wherever we are, yet I think we are better aware of His presence when we are seeking to live and love as we are called to do. Right now, weeks feel long and the presence of faithful love, goodness and peace are always welcome. In fact, I am certain that His love is what carries us on our longest and most difficult days. May we ever seek the Lord to lead us in His love and faithfulness, and give Him praise for His goodness and peace.

God’s unfailing love,

And truth are a pair;

Together they’re found,

In joy and despair.

His goodness and peace,

Embrace each other;

So each is made known,

One to another.

As we walk His way,

Extending His love;

We feel in fullness,

All these from above.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your goodness, righteousness, peace and faithful love. Thank You that all are available and accessible as we earnestly seek You. Forgive us for our lack of seeking or for the distractions that keep us from being aware of Your nearness. Teach us to trust and rely on You in all things and at all times. Lead us in Your faithful love, so that we love one another as You do. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we faithfully seek and follow after You. Amen.

You will keep the mind that is dependent on You in perfect peace, for it is trusting in You. – Isaiah 26:3
