Walk Uprightly

I have shared before that I am a Blessed man - Blessed and highly favored. Are we rich? Certainly not monetarily. Do we live in an extravagant mansion? Not even close. Are we without problems, controversies, concerns? Every day there seems to be another one arise. So, what makes us so Blessed? I am glad you asked...

We are blessed because we serve a living SAVIOR! Our GOD is the LORD of lords and the KING of kings! He is all powerful, all knowing, and ever present. He has a plan for our lives and our futures. He guides our steps and prepares our way. He has given us more than we could have ever hoped, dreamed, or imagined - all this and Heaven, too.

Today's word is Psalm 84:11, ESV, which reads, "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."

My GOD is an ever present Light and Defense. He provides for our sustenance and protection. He gives us what we need to live an abundant life now, and has prepared eternity to be enjoyed forever. He has shown us countless times His favor. And, His grace and mercy is beyond comprehension. I can't think of a single thing that He hasn't done for us.

Finally, today's word tells us that He doesn't withhold any good thing from those "who walk uprightly." He is faithful, and gives us all good things. His desire is a close, personal relationship with each and every one of His children. If we will put our faith, trust, and lives in Him, He will pour out His blessings upon us. What a wonderful verse: "He bestows favor and honor;" and, He withholds nothing "from those who walk uprightly."

Be Blessed,
