No Good Thing

 Scripture:

“For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭84:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

The Psalmist tells us here that God is our sun and shield.  He is our light and our protection.  He then says that God gives grace and glory.  God is full of grace and mercy and chooses to share His glory with us.  This is beyond comprehension.  He adds at the end, “The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.”

Application:

When reading this morning, the words, “no good thing” stood out to me.  God doesn’t want to withhold blessings from us, He wants to get them to us, but there is something we must do.  We must do what is right, or live righteous lives.  God is not trying to withhold things from us, but to get us in a position to receive them.  When we do our part, He does His.  He also shares His grace and glory with us, which is beyond understanding.

Prayer:

Father, You are good, kind, loving compassionate, and truly amazing!  You have blessed my life over and over.  You do give grace and glory.  You don’t withhold good things from us.  Help me to walk righteously before You all the days of my life.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
