Righteous future

God’s salvation is very close to those who honor him so that his glory can live in our land. Faithful love and truth have met; righteousness and peace have kissed. ~ Psalm 85:9-10 (CEB)

But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness. ~ 2 Peter 3:13 (NLT)

KEY IDEA:
The lives we live now are formed by the anticipation we have for a new heaven and a new earth -- which will be full of God's righteousness.
PRAYER:
Thank you, Lord, for your promise. I confess that I'm a bit jaded about the future. It's hard to believe that things will change. Please give me eyes of faith so that I can see your presence and your progress. I'm looking forward to living here with you in your renewed-by-Christ creation. Amen.
