"The Lord God Is"

"For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly." Psalm 84:11

"For the Lord God is..." We find in this verse that God is all we need in every area of our lives now and in the future.

"God is a sun." He is our light. He lights up our lives. He removes the darkness so that we can see clearly as we walk through this life. He also removes the darkness of sin from our lives through faith in His Son Jesus. He takes us out of darkness and places us in light and makes us children of light.

"God is a shield." He is our protection. He keeps us in safety. He comes between us and the enemy of our soul. His very presence acts as a guard around us.

"The Lord gives grace". We need grace in order to stand when all hell is raging against us. When the trials of life seem to be more than we can bear, His grace ministers to us by giving us peace, wisdom and strength. We need His grace in order to be saved and stand before Him sinless on that day that is coming.

"The Lord gives glory". He honors us with His glorious presence. He gives us honor here on earth through favor with man. He honors us by allowing us to become His children through faith in the Lord Jesus.

"He gives us all good things". Whatever is truly good for us and for our benefit, He will give it to us. He supplies all our need- spiritually and physically. He does not withhold anything that is good for us. That also means that as a loving Father He withholds what is not.

Not only does He give us all good things, meets and supplies every need, gives light. protection and honor to those who walk uprightly before Him, but He is the One who gives us the ability to walk uprightly and become right with Him in the first place. He truly has all, gives all and is all we need.

Have a great day. The Lord God is... everything that we need or will ever need.
