Milton: Yea, Truth and Justice then

Meditation:
Love and faithfulness meet together;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
Faithfulness springs forth from the earth,
and righteousness looks down from heaven.
—Psalm 85:10-11 (NIV)

Quotation:
Yea, Truth and Justice then
Will down return to men,
Orb’d in a Rain-bow, and like glories wearing;
Mercy will sit between,
Throned in celestial sheen,
With radiant feet the tissued clouds down steering;
And Heav’n, as at some festival,
Will open wide the Gates of her high Palace Hall.
... John Milton (1608-1674), [1629] from On the morning of Chist’s Nativity, The Complete Poems of John Milton, New York: P. F. Collier, 1909, p. 12 (see the book)
See also Ps. 85:10-11; 33:5; 40:11; 89:14; Pr. 8:20; Zech. 7:9; 2 John 1:3; Rev. 15:2-3; 19:11; 21:2,25

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, You have opened Heaven to Your people.
