Kindness and Honor

The Lord God is like a sun and shield; the Lord gives us kindness and honor. He does not hold back anything good from those whose lives are innocent. – Psalms 84:11 NCV

Coming to believe this declaration from the psalmist has taken some time in my walk with Jesus. In my early years, I would think upon it almost as a guarantee that “nothing bad will happen to me or my household” because I have Jesus. As my journey continued, I came to know Him “in the hard places as closer than breath itself”. Now, as I continue, I am finding that even the “difficult” issues coming my way are actually the pathways for the kindness and honor that He gives me. Above all else...my innocence is only because of the blood of my Lord Jesus Christ.
