“Truth for Truckers” *April 24, 2014* Psalm 84 “The Lord will give grace and glory”
This Psalm exalts God’s house of worship and
in (v.11) the Lord’s three gifts are listed for those who enter into His
courts: “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.” God’s three gifts are: 1. Grace
2. Glory
3. Good things
It is His grace that is the fountainhead
of all blessings we receive. Without His grace we would never be saved: “For by grace are ye saved through faith
and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God not of works lest any man
should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8, 9) And, it is the salvation which the Lord
Jesus Christ by His Blood bought for every man for “He is the propitiation for our sins and not for ours only but for the
sins of the whole world.” (I John 2:2) So, God’s wonderful grace is the
doorway to all of the other blessings. It is by His grace that He gives us a
share of His glory, a glory that we can experience in His presence as we seek
His face and enter His Kingdom.
The last gift is all the good things we
have in life. My wife and I spent Resurrection Day with some of our family. Six
of our eight grand-children were there. We had a great meal together and good
fellowship. Every one of our children and grand-children are saved. Therefore,
we have every reason to rejoice in the Lord and give Him the glory for what He
has done by His grace. He has given us so many blessings because we remain
faithful to Him regardless of circumstances, His promises remain true:
“For all things work together for good
to them who love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.” (Romans
8:28)
