"Loving-kindness and truth (faithfulness) have met together;
 Righteousness and peace have kissed each other."  Psalm 85:10
 
Only in God have these come together.  And only in Christ can they be 
man's portion for,
"Righteous will go before Him,
 And will make His footsteps into a way."  Psalm 85:13
 
'Righteousness and truth are the foundation of Your throne, Oh Lord', and 
blessed are the people who walk in the light of it.  For,
"The work of righteousness will be peace,
 And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever."  
Isaiah 32:17
 
This is kingdom living as we see in Romans 14:17,
"For the kingdom of God is not eating or drinking , but righteousness and
 peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."
To walk in Christ is to walk in righteousness (right standing) and to walk in 
 righteousness is to obey.  BUT, yes there is a 'but', with no obedience, no
 righteousness; with no righteousness, no quietness and confidence; with 
no quietness and confidence, no peace and joy; therefore, with no peace 
and joy, no kingdom living!  Believers, the consequence of disobedience 
is TOO great!  What is forfeited is the promise of Isaiah 32:18,
"Then my people will live in a peaceful habitation,
 And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places."
 
Christ is our peaceful habitation and our resting place.
We are the Lord's, He is our portion and with the Psalmist we can say,'
"My flesh and my heart may fail,
 But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
 For, behold, those who are far form Thee will perish...
 But as for me, the nearness of God is my good;
 I have made the Lord God my refuge,
 That I may tell of all Thy works."  Psalm 73:26-28
 
And,
"The Lord is my portion
 I entreated Thy favor with all my heart;
 I have promised to keep Thy words.
 Be gracious to me according to Thy word.
 I considered my ways, 
 And turned my feet to Thy testimonies."  Psalm 119:57-59
 
How gracious is our God! With one heart, as we worship in our separate 
places, let us joyously give praise and honor to our Mighty God.  Amen
