(TEXT : Psalms 84:11)
For 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.
FOCUS :
When we walk with God rightly, our relationship becomes tightly and our vision about God becomes brightly. The Holy Spirit is saying according to the above scripture: that when we walk with God with the whole of our heart, soul, mind and spirit; God will not withhold “anything good from us.” There are many good things that God will always want to show and share with His own people. However, if His people are not “walking uprightly” with Him, they are to forget about the “GOOD THINGS from God.” God will walk all the way with those who chooses to walk with Him with total surrender.
Proverbs 13:20
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
Isaiah 43:2
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
In addition, it is not everybody in the house of God that are walking with God. And that is cleared enough to know that such who are not walking with God, should not expect “good things” from God. Many people started well by walking with God, but unfortunately, in the process they backside and they missed all the goods that God have in stored for them. Some times to keep the balance of walking with God, it can be very tough. I mean, you can imagine waking up in the middle of the night every day to pray, fast continuously, get close to the Word of God daily, giving to the poor, sacrificing to pray for the nations and all your leaders above you; and still manage to maintain your “personal fellowship with God.” Walking with God, it is not for the lazy ones.
Proverbs 13:4
The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
Proverbs 20:4
The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
Finally, some are walking with God, but sadly, God is not walking with them. And that is why God is very much concerned about you walking out your “own Salvation” with fear and trembling. Because without your Salvation, you can’t walk with God and if you can’t walk with God, then you can’t please God. Faith helps every believers to walk with God and to receive their reward afterwards, which is the “GOOD THINGS.” If you want to receive good thing from the Lord, be obedient to the Lord.
Philippians 2:12
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
