Psalm 84:11
Psalm 84:11
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 is described here as a sun and shield, symbolizing both illumination and protection. Just as the sun provides light, guidance, and warmth, God enlightens our lives with His wisdom and presence. The image of a shield emphasizes His role as our protector, guarding us against spiritual dangers. This dual role assures us that God not only leads us but also safeguards us from harm. His favor and honor are blessings bestowed upon those who walk uprightly, living in alignment with His will. This verse reminds us that God’s blessings are not only material but also spiritual, bringing peace, strength, and honor into our lives. By trusting Him, we are covered by His shield and illuminated by His light, empowering us to navigate life with confidence. The Lord’s favor is a precious gift, and when we seek His guidance, He generously provides all that we need, both for our journey and our protection.

As surely as the sun rises, he will appear.

The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

He brings clouds to cover the sun.
