The Lord Will

Psalm 84:11

β€œFor 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.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 84

Meaning

The promise belongs to a psalm of worship, pilgrimage, integrity, and trust. 'Good thing' is defined by God's goodness, not by every desired possession or painless outcome.

Better is one day with God

The psalm closes by preferring God's presence, affirming his goodness, and blessing trust.

Read carefully

The psalm defines blessing through God's presence, pilgrimage, uprightness, and trust; it is not a blank-check prosperity promise.

Reflection

Trust God's goodness while continuing to walk with integrity.
