“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.” Psa 84:11
Grace doesn’t stop at sin, “God will give you grace and glory” it overcomes sin and delivers you into glory, the presence of God where his goodness prevails. Promising no good thing will be withheld from you who walks uprightly in truth. (Phl 4:19) He is both your provider (sun), and your protector (shield). When you feel you’re losing the battle, know that by his grace you’ve already won the war. And even in the worst of trials you’re never beyond the reach of grace, and even in the best of life beyond the need of grace. Grace excuses you from the dependence on your ability, and only requests you to depend on his. Sadly, “when we’re on the receiving end of his grace it’s refreshing, but when required of us disturbing:” Lk 12:48 (whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much is required )
Grace is where glory begins, and glory is where grace is perfected.
