Day 267 – Psalm 85

“Truth shall spring out of the earth…” Psalm 85:11a

THE VALUE OF TRUTH

God values truth! It may be said that the Lord built everything on truth.

1. Truth is an essential attribute of God.

2. His word given to man is pure truth.

3. His works are done in truth.

A SOBERING REALITY

Sadly man does not know how to value truth much.

1. Truth is not an in-born characteristic in man.

2. The love for truth has to be carefully cultivated.

3. Man has to be cajoled to love truth and to speak it.

And righteousness shall look down from heaven.”
