He Speaks, We Listen and Obey Arise and Abide

Reading Psalms 85 in the New Living Translation. Start your day as the psalmist begins this psalm, with praise and worship. Being intentional with our thoughts and placing them before Jesus. To follow Jesus, we must stop talking, and listen. Verse 13, Righteousness goes as a Herald before him preparing the way for his steps. When we are in right relationship with God, He can more effectively use us for His plan. God is both loving, but He always is speaking truth. Through Jesus we have this opportunity to be in right relationship with God because we do have this need for a savior to be restored. The cost of being a disciple is to submit our lives to the life and teaching of Jesus to walk life out in his footsteps. John 14:25 lines up well with Psalms 85:8. God is good. He sent the advocate to guide us, to lead us in what he would have us to do to love him and love others. To not just listen, but also follow. You can trust God that God is with you. You can trust God, that God is for you. You can trust God to His word as it says in verse 12 of Psalm 85. “Yes, the Lord pours down his blessings. Our land will yield its beautiful harvest. Righteousness goes as a herald before him preparing the way for His steps.”
