The Reward of Uprightness

*MEDITATION*

Psalm 84:11 "For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly."AMP

Point to ponder on: God won't withhold any good thing from a believer who walks uprightly.

We can count on God as our defence anytime any day as a Sun to shine His light on every dark part in our journey so that we don't fall and we can be confident that He will shield us from the attack of the enemy because He is our shield. Our God is not just a Sun but also the Sun of Righteousness with healing in His wings and His beams to deliver the afflicted among us(Mal.4:2). And when it is necessary for Him to scorch our adversaries with heat  so that they can flee from troubling His beloved, He is a Sun.

Moreover, for those who walk uprightly have a lot to benefit without making any request. The Lord rewards them with gift(present) of grace, favour and glory(this glory is a future with honour, splendor and heavenly bliss) ensuring that nothing good is withheld from them. This is mind blowing! There is so much to gain for being upright( always behaving in an honest way : having high moral standards). We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us(Phil.4:13), therefore, uprightness is possible if truly in Him(Christ) we live, move and have our being(Acts 17:28). And since He works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure then when we make up our mind He will enable us. "[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight."-Phil.2:13(AMP)

Consequently, all believers have received grace but there is another dimension of the gift of grace and favour on those who walk uprightly.
Cooperate with the Holy Ghost and see the progress you will make in uprightness.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Do have a blissful day.
