God’s Truth Springs Out of the Earth
Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
Psalm 85:11 NKJV
When my husband and I visited Steamboat Springs in northern Colorado with some friends a few years ago, we heard about a walking tour of all the natural springs located in the town. We got the directions and began our trek, anxious to see each one. Much to our amazement, each spring was unique, even different colors. The bubbles and foam from these nature water wonders never stopped flowing. Why do these springs never dry up, I asked myself. What scientific phenomenon could explain them?
The author of Psalm 85, one of Korah’s sons, writes a beautiful metaphor of truth springing up out of the earth. What a resplendent picture we have, that no matter the sin and destruction we deal with, God’s truth will spring up around us, prevailing over mankind.
As God’s truth springs out of the earth, we can cultivate His truth to spring out of our individual hearts. It will never stop flowing, and righteousness shall look down upon us from heaven. I love this imagery! We don’t need a scientific explanation. It is simply God’s truth, spoken from His word.
O, Lord, we thank You for Your truth. May it always spring from our hearts each day as we serve You.
