Psalm 85

It took about 2 minutes to read this psalm, and conside Korah's inspired words. In the spring time there is nothing more promising to a gardener then a sprout in the garden. One small sliver of green tells many stories. One story speaks of the power of life over the clutches of the grave; because a planted seed has germenated to become the plant it was designed to be. A plant that will bear fruit. Another story is that of a coming harvest. The harvest will be a time of joy because of the battles fought with weeds, insects, and weather. At the harvest victory is seen complete. Korah refered to truth as this sprout in the garden. It was a figure of speech that everyone in Israel understood. A picture of hope and victory. Truth always produces both.
