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. (Psalm 84:11)
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? (Matthew 7:11)
Charles Spurgeon

If we walk dirty, God cannot grant us favors

God can take away pleasant things, but not "the good." He will grant us holiness, victory over bad habits, full assurance, and close fellowship with Him if we ask through Jesus Christ. However, we must walk in integrity and avoid hypocrisy and deception. The path of wholeness leads to heavenly wealth, which includes all good. This is a promise that we can pray with confidence.

Enrique Meneses Muñoz : Thank you for your word LORD. You're all that I have. Hallelujah, amen.
What a beautiful comment, Enrique! It is wonderful to recognize that the Lord is all we have and to thank Him for His Word. As it says in Psalms 84:11, "For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds nothing good from those who walk uprightly." It is a reminder that God provides us with everything we need when we walk in integrity. Let us pray together to continue on that path of fidelity and receive His blessings. Hallelujah, amen!
oscar: excellent comment, very clear and real
Hello Oscar! Thanks for joining the conversation. It is true that the message of integrity and blessing that Charles Spurgeon's devotional shows us is clear and true. As he mentions in his text, when we walk in integrity, God grants us good things. In Matthew 7:11 we read, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him?" Let us continue to seek integrity in our lives and trust that God will provide us abundantly. What a blessing to share reflections together!
Aleida Lora : Praise you, Lord, blessed your name. Thank you Father for giving us someone to trust and take refuge in joy and sadness... You are sublime and extraordinary. There are no words I can express and be able to thank you for so much. These days I have understood that he who faithfully waits on you is rewarded, that your timing is perfect, that you know when you give answers to our requests, if they suit us. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for mediating before the Father to grant me this grace and many others, even without deserving them. Thank my Lord. Give me strength to sustain it and move forward, but with you at the helm... Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Aleida, what a beautiful expression of gratitude and praise to the Lord! It is inspiring to see your heart grateful and trusting in God's faithfulness. As you mention, faithfully waiting on Him brings rewards, and His timing is perfect. In Psalms 84:11 we are reminded that "No good thing is denied to those who walk uprightly." It is wonderful to see how you recognize the mediation of Jesus Christ and the grace that He grants us, even without deserving it. May the strength you ask for to move forward be strengthened by the presence and love of God. Amen! May your testimony continue to be a light for others in their walk of faith. 🙏❤️
Francisco Diaz S.: A man of integrity, integrity and fairness in his actions is like a precious gem, but be careful; There are many precious gems with great brilliance but if you analyze them carefully they turn out to be false and deceptive. Let us be careful of appearances, let us ask the Lord for wisdom and discernment and the Lord will assist us.
What an accurate reflection, Francisco. It is true that integrity is like a precious gem in this world full of deceptions and appearances. Asking the Lord for wisdom and discernment, as you mention, is essential to be able to distinguish what is genuine from what is false. In Proverbs 2:6 we read: "For the LORD gives wisdom; knowledge and insight flow from his lips." We trust that God will guide us and give us the wisdom necessary to stand firm in our integrity, just as Psalm 84:11 reminds us that He withholds nothing good from those who walk in integrity. May that search for sincerity and truth in you always be rewarded by divine grace and guidance!
Ruth Vives : Dear brothers and sisters: Our paths and destinies are known and directed by God. Let us have, let us maintain faith and obedience in him. God bless you. Amen.
What a beautiful exhortation, Ruth! It is comforting to remember that God knows our paths and destinies, and He directs them according to His perfect plan. Maintaining faith and obedience in Him is key to walking secure in His will. As Psalm 84:11 reminds us, "For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds nothing good from those who walk uprightly." May that trust in divine direction and His goodness be a light in your life and in the lives of those around you. God bless you, amen!
Alba Fuentes : Amen amen thank you dear brothers for the message of the word of God 🙏🤗❤️
What a joy to see your grateful heart, Alba! It is wonderful when the Word of God fills us with blessing and strengthens us in our faith. As Psalm 84:11 mentions, God withholds nothing good from those who walk uprightly, and that promise is something we can be thankful for. May that message continue to resonate in your life and that of your loved ones, bringing comfort, hope and strength. May the peace and love of God continue to abound in your walk! 🙏🤗❤️
