God's Rest Daily Devotional Before Your Face The Habitation of God's Throne

God's Rest Devotional

"Before Your Face"

January 22, 2020

Psalm 89:14

Justice and judgement are the habitation of thy throne: Mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

God's Throne is a place where His Rest expands and begins to cover the earth through Righteousness and the Resurrection--known as Justice and we have been speaking of this the past year.

Take a look at the second part of this Scripture, "Mercy and Truth" shall go before thy face. First, notice Mercy and Truth are not the habitation of God's Throne. However, what Mercy reveals is something so striking it will be a first for us all. Mercy --yes, is goodness and faithfulness, but as you study the root word we read:

חָסַד châçad, khaw-

a primitive root properly, to bow the neck only

So, we begin to see movement of God from His Throne, "Acknowledging--by looking upon, whom He looks down to." If you ain't shouting there is something wrong with you on that one. Living from God's Throne is so different from approaching His Throne isn't it? Now, watch this--lean in a little closer will you?

Now, Truth is different from Mercy. We established the "Action of God through Mercy" so let us ask ourselves "What is God's Action through Truth?" Here, Truth means to establish security and safety to reveal faithfulness.

However, the root word

Strong's H539 - 'aman

אָמַן ʼâman, aw-man'; a primitive root; (Isaiah 30:21; interchangeable with H541, to go to the right hand)

So, let us put this all together shall we? Mercy is God's kindness and goodness that is revealed as a Heavenly Father "Acknowledging His children in tenderness, by bowing His Head and looking upon you" --Before His Face. While Truth is, "the Security and stability that He is holding you in His Right Arm of Righteousness" --Before His Face. Shout!

David said, "His Mercy! Endures forever. His Mercy! Endures forever." This touches my heart deeply because I have experienced visions of Jesus holding children in His right arm.

Let us turn our hymnals to:

Refrain:

Love lifted me!

Love lifted me!

When nothing else could help,

Love lifted me!

Written by James Rowe , 1912

(Did you notice the last name)

Confession: Father, today I acknowledge Your Rest in me and Your Love towards me. Look upon me always in Your Mercy and hold me forever in Truth, which is Your Right Arm of Righteousness. Keep me always as Your little child, "Before Your Face" in Jesus name. Amen.
