(ESV) Psalm 84:11-12 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!
My trust [in Him] is a bit jaded at times, for there are those moments when I think I know best, but then I enter into His courts and my understanding is opened. The process hurts. But, He knows the way I take and He’s working every obstacle for my eternal good. I am better because He makes sure to knock off the rough edges of me.
The Lord sends daily gifts of favor and honor to me. The Lord is my light (sun) and my salvation (shield). His light, the wisdom He imparts, causes me to see things I would not ordinarily see; and because of the shield of faith which covers me, my heart is protected from demise. In His presence is fullness of joy and at His right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
He is my rest.
He is my strength. He is my Savior.
He is the Lover of my soul.
He is my Friend.
He is my Guide.
He’s given beauty for ashes.
Gladness for mourning.
He enlightens my darkness.
He has made my valley a well-spring.
Because of Him I have been able to walk through some dark places.
With Him I go from strength to strength.
Because of HIM I can do hard things.
No good thing has He ever withheld from me.
He’s a Father who truly cares. He’s faithful. Loving. Omnipresent. Great is His faithfulness.
I am so blessed!!!
Happy Friday, everybody! J
