Psalm 85:8-13 (Common English Bible)

 8 Let me hear what the Lord God says, because he speaks peace to his people and to his faithful ones. Don’t let them return to foolish ways. 9 God’s salvation is very close to those who honor him so that his glory can live in our land. 10 Faithful love and truth have met; righteousness and peace have kissed. 11 Truth springs up from the ground; righteousness gazes down from heaven. 12 Yes, the Lord gives what is good, and our land yields its produce. 13 Righteousness walks before God, making a road for his steps.


Summary:

For the month of July, our sermon series focuses on what God expects of us and what we can expect from God.

In Psalm 85, we are minded that when faced with low expectations around and within us, continue to maintain high expectations in God. Listen to God’s voice and walk with God! Have high expectations for what God has done and will do!

Reflection Questions:

  1. What is a word, phrase or image that comes to mind when you read or hear the text?
  2. What does this scripture teach you about expectations?
  3. What does God invite you to do, change or be through this passage?
