Psalm 84: 11-12
For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord gives grace and glory; no good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
The sun gives us light, God is our Light. He protects us as a shield. He gives us His unmerited favor, and gives us resplendent beauty and magnificence. When we live our lives uprightly He will shower upon us all the good things that give color and radiance to our lives.
O my Father, my Abba Daddy, I praise You for Your great wisdom in creating and forming this whole Universe; You gave Your light to the sun to give us life, and You set the planets in their orbits.
You work in and among the sons of men to accomplish Your good purposes, and You are accomplishing everything You have planned.
Thank You for revealing Your program to us in Your Word, for telling us what You are doing to prepare this World of men and the sons and daughters of men for the culmination and completion of Your great Plan of the Ages.
Thank You for strengthening and sustaining and holding us, Your children, in Your protective hand.
Thank You for Your light to perceive and understand Your doings.
Teach us to examine our own hearts, to cleanse out the wounds, the secret sins we cherish, to confess and forsake them; to live lives of righteousness and promote righteousness in our societies all over the World.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
