He gives us grace and glory

Psalms 84:11 (NLT)

When they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs, where pools of blessing collect after the rains! 7 They will continue to grow stronger, and each of them will appear before God in Jerusalem. 8 O LORD God Almighty, hear my prayer. Listen, O God of Israel. Interlude 9 O God, look with favor upon the king, our protector! Have mercy on the one you have anointed. 10 A single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God than live the good life in the homes of the wicked. 11 For the LORD God is our light and protector. He gives us grace and glory. No good thing will the LORD withhold from those who do what is right. 12 O LORD Almighty, happy are those who trust in you.


God does not promise to give us everything we think is good, but he will not withhold what 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.
