We continue our Summer in the Psalms series with Psalm 85. God has established a covenant relationship with his people through his gracious saving acts of love and faithfulness. A covenant relationship with God requires both parties holding up their end, but we so often fail to keep our end of the bargain. We find ourselves saved by God’s grace but so often feel in need of that grace again and again. Salvation is dependent on God’s unilateral action, through Christ’s faithfulness and righteousness. It is this Gospel truth that we must be constantly reminded of, so that we might know the comfort of God’s Gospel promise, even when we don’t feel it.
