Ps 84:11 (NIV) “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.”
How does Yahweh Elohiym illustrate the sun towards His people? God illuminates our life’s path showing us the right way to go. He brightens our world, filling in the dark shadows with light. Many people have experienced depression from the lack of sunlight during the wintertime; medical professionals call it seasonal affective disorder. But the sun, like Yahweh, invigorates us with warmth and life, you might say that light is nature’s pep pill that fills us with energy. Experiencing Christ working in our life is like when “The sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall.” Mal 4:2 (NIV)
Yahweh Elohiym is also a shield to protect and defend all those who trust him. God does not promise to give us everything we think we want, but He will not withhold anything that is permanently good. He will give us the means to walk along his paths, but we must do the walking. When we obey Him, He will not hold anything back that will help us serve Him.
What kind of situations have you experienced where you felt restricted, or penned up spiritually like in a stall? Describe times in your spiritual life where you have leaped like a calf released from the stall?
About Me
- Tamara Storie
- Listening to the quiet is rare at my house. With five children and a small zoo life often has a way of getting loud and crazy. One small moment in time goes like this... Someone drops the pancakes on the floor, the dog thinks its in doggy heaven, another someone is yelling that the dog is eating breakfast while someone else is trying to save breakfast for the humans in the house. My goal is to take the "moments" in life, look through the eyes of the heart to see the lessons God wants to teach. I hope you will share with me your moments and lessons as well.
