DEVO. 10.14.24
“For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord bestows grace and favor and honor; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” (Psalms 84:11 AMP)
- Have you prepared yourself for the Good Things that God wants to give you?
- Yes, I said, “Good Things”
- It may be easy, here in Florida, for us to focus on what has been taken from us by the hurricane or the bad things that occurred as a result.
- But if you focus on the bad it will rob you of the good.
- God has Good things in store for you!
- Both physical and spiritual!
- It’s important to dig into the “Good”
- In this scripture, the Psalmist says, “No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.”
- Just prior to that sentence, in the same verse, we are given better insight.
- It says, “The Lord bestows grace and favor and honor.”
- Don’t overlook that phrase.
- It’s by His Grace that we have salvation but it’s also His Grace that gives us the ability to live out this Christian life!
- Favor is His “gracious kindness”
- Favor means that you are given special attention over others.
- Favor means that God will do things for you that He won’t do for others.
- Honor means that God wants to give you, respect, dignity, and recognition of worth.
- Grace, Favor and Honor are yours, today, for all those who put their Trust in the Lord.
- He doesn’t want to withhold it or keep it from you. It’s yours for the taking!
- The very next verse says, “How blessed and greatly favored is the man who trusts in You [believing in You, relying on You, and committing himself to You with confident hope and expectation].”
- That is our part, today!
- Believe in Him, Rely on Him and commit yourself to Him with confident Hope and expectation!
- Expectation means that you stand ready to receive His Grace, Favor and Honor. Not because you deserve but because of His love for you!
- Today, is a day to put your Hope in the Lord and expect God’s best!
- Have a great Monday!
