For His Word is <br />as penetrating as a two edged sword, <br />able to separate bone from marrow; <br />convicting us; pointing the way to salvation;<br />and providing us with <br />an instruction manual for life. <br />All we have to do is follow it.<br /><br />As our psalmist cries out,<br />“Near indeed is His salvation <br />to those who fear Him.”<br />For us Christians the Psalm is more than a cry. <br />It is a promise of salvation --<br />the psalmist prepares the way of the Lord.<br /><br />The psalmist promises that the Lord<br />himself will give us His benefits.<br />And what should we expect?<br />Nothing less than the coming <br />of the Messiah himself.<br />That’s what happens when <br />“Kindness and truth shall meet;” <br />when “Justice and peace shall kiss;”<br />when “Truth shall spring from the earth”<br />(when the Messiah is born).<br /><br />The goodness and blessings that <br />the psalmist speaks of <br />are fulfilled in Christ.<br />Where else would we turn <br />to receive real spiritual abundance.?<br /> <br />For our Savior is truly <br />“Glory dwelling in our land.”<br /><br />AmenBarry Lamontnoreply@blogger.com
