Read Psalm 85
A beautiful psalm pleading for mercy, salvation, and restoration. With the flare that poets and song writers posses this psalmist teaches profound truth with vivid, artful imagery.
Consider verse 10 for example. Love and faithfulness sitting down for a meeting together like old friends. These two love to live together. Then coming in the door: peace and righteousness embracing with a kiss. These are intimately connected. Where there is righteousness you will find peace (an inseparable couple). The same is true of love and faithfulness. When you see one, there is the other, hip to hip. And these are all evidences that the Lord is near. These all exhibit His ways.
If you have time, go back and read it again as you look for more of this vivid imagery of truth.
