Psalm 89:13-15 AMPC

13 You have a mighty arm; strong isYour hand, Your right hand is soaring high.

14 Righteousness and justice are thefoundation of Your throne; mercy and loving-kindness and truthgo before Your face.

15 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to beenvied) are the people who know the joyful sound [who understand and appreciate the spiritual blessings symbolized by the feasts]; they walk, O Lord, in thelight and favor of Your countenance!

V14 says:

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;mercy and loving-kindness and truth go before Your face.

So when we approach the throne of God, we must have arighteousness consciousness and we must know that God is a God of justice.

mercy and loving-kindness and truth go before Your face.

What does it mean for something to “go before your face”?

This phrase means attendants that walk before someone.

So as you approach the king, you assume automatically thatyou have come before the presence of a king that you will receive mercy, loving kindness and truth.

NLT describes this as Unfailing love and truth walk beforeyou as attendants.

So when we come before the throne of grace, we should expectthis attitude from God.

Abraham understood this when he interceded for Sodom &Gomorrah in Gen 18. In Gen 18, Abraham pleaded for the people of Sodom & Gomorrah before God laying claim to the justice and righteousness of God (the two pillars of God’s throne)
