Vs. 8 - Yahweh, hear my prayer, . . . vs 10 - A single day in your courts is worth more than a thousand elsewhere; merely to stand on the steps of God's house is better than anything. vs 11 - For God is battlement and shield, conferring grace and glory; Yahweh withholds nothing good from those who walk without blame. vs 12 - Yahweh, Happy the man who puts his trust in you!"
This speaks to me of spending time in the presence of God. It is better than anything else I could ever spend my time and energy doing. Because He is my shield against the arrows of the enemy. He protects me. He hears me. And witholds nothing good - if I walk without blame. Happy/blessed (same word) am I when I put my trust in my God.
He will not withhold any good thing! Wow! What a promise.
I like how you put the promise in the context of other verses, Mom. And it is such a comfort to visualize God as a shield. When I feel so vulnerable and powerless against the world, it is amazing to think that the God of the Universe is shielding me. It is such a privilege to spend time in the presence of Him. Thank you for showing me how to do that, Mom!
