Psalm 85 (KJV): but let them not turn again to folly

From Psalms

Psalm 85
(For the director of music.  Of the Sons of Korah.  A psalm.)

¹Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land:
      thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
²Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people,
      thou hast covered all their sin.               Selah.
³Thou hast taken away all thy wrath:
      thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

⁴Turn us, O God of our salvation,
      and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
⁵Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?
      wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
⁶Wilt thou not revive us again:
      that thy people may rejoice in thee?
⁷Shew us thy mercy, O LORD,
      and grant us thy salvation.

⁸I will hear what God the LORD will speak:
      for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints:
      but let them not turn again to folly.
⁹Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him;
      that glory may dwell in our land.

¹⁰Mercy and truth are met together;
      righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
¹¹Truth shall spring out of the earth;
      and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
¹²Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good;
      and our land shall yield her increase.
¹³Righteousness shall go before him;
      and shall set us in the way of his steps.

For God speaks, and if we listen, He will not let us turn again to folly.  However, sometimes the voices of earthly influences seem louder than the voice of God.  That's why it's important to pray - that's the only way for us to be close enough to God that His God will continue to guide us.

In that moment, when we are close to Him and his voice guides us, Truth shall seem to spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven.  Yea, we shall receive those things abunduntly, love, joy, happiness, and peace.  Everyday we need to take time to observe that God has in fact provided these things in our lives and be grateful.
