[Songs in the Night - October 21]
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
OUR text is a great encouragement to the David
class, the beloved class, the anointed ones, the members
of Christ.
To these the Lord God is both a sun and
shield; he not only enlightens these, but he will not
suffer them to be injured by the blessings which he
bestows upon them.
He will shield them from all enemies
and everything that would tend to injure them in
any manner; all things shall work together for good to
those that love him, to the called ones according to his
purpose.
With such blessed assurances, then, we may
look forward into the future with rejoicing and with
confidence, trusting to have a share in the glorious
rewards God has promised to the faithful. Z'08-237 R4219:6 (Hymn 273)
