what transformation looks like

Psalm 85:8-13 (JDV)

Psalm 85:8 I will listen to what God will say; surely Yahveh will declare peace to his people, his covenant devotees, and not let them go back to stupidity.
Psalm 85:9 His deliverance is very near those who fear him, so that fame may dwell in our land.
Psalm 85:10 Covenant faithfulness and truth will join together; what is right and peace will embrace.
Psalm 85:11 Truth will spring up from the land, and what is right will look down from the sky.
Psalm 85:12 Also, Yahveh will provide what is good, and our land will yield its crops.
Psalm 85:13 What is right will go before him to prepare the road for his steps.

what transformation looks like

When God’s people experience his deliverance, it changes the shape of the land in which they live. He replaces warfare and violence with his peace. He makes the humble famous. He turns fickle people into faithful covenant keepers. He turns liars into truth tellers. He orients wrong-doers so that they do what is right. He turns scarcity into abundance. He guides the confused so that they know what steps to take.

LORD, change the shape of our land. Transform us by the renewing of our minds.
