"No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly" Psalm 84:11
How is it possible that he does not withhold any good thing from those who walk uprightly. How is it that he is working all things together for the good of those who love him (Romans 8:28) How is he before and behind all things, holding all things together, reconciling all things to himself? How are all things created through him and for him? (Col 1)
How big the Lord is. How small my circumstances.. how large my discontent... my unbelief. In the face of such a great God who gives me only what I need (whether perceived by me as good or bad) and who withholds the things I really don't need (whether I think I need them or not).
Read this tonight in Knowing God:
"The meaning of 'he will give us all things' can be put thus: one day we shall see that nothing--literally nothing-- which could have increased our eternal happiness has been denied us, and that nothing--literally nothing--that could have reduced that happiness has been left with us. What higher assurance do want than that?"
How sweet.
