promises are made to the true worshiper !!!


Psalm 84:11 (NIV). For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.......

Thoughts on This Verse... 


These promises are made to the true worshiper 
(see Psalm 84). 
This worshiper delights to be in the presence of God and yearns to be with God in worship. This worshiper trusts fully in God as his source of strength, hope, victory, and joy. For this worshiper, God has left this incredible set of promises! Very similar to Romans 8, and its hallmark passage in verse 28, God promises to work out things for good and bless those who''love him and are called according to his purpose'' and withhold nothing that is good (Rom. 8:32). Why? God is for us! He is our sun and shield, he lavishes his grace and glory upon us, and he will not withhold any good thing from us.
