In Shaq we trust?

"Shaq's got your back."

How many peeps are switching to Comcast because they trust him for what he says in that commercial? Tons. Statistically, they are having a stellar quarter due in part to that ad. Yet Psalms 84:11 says that God is both a sun to light our way, and a shield to protect our backside. How many are truly trusting in those words?

11 For the Lord God is our sun and our shield.
He gives us grace and glory.
The Lord will withhold no good thing
from those who do what is right.

What is that saying to you and me? Well, assuming His words are true. Check. That He knows what's going on in our lives. Check. That as followers, we are doing the right thing by loving Him and loving others. Check. Then we know that He's got our back, is leading us step by step, and working all things together for good, while giving us undeserved grace and glory, which is a really good thing.

  1. We are not forsaken. The favor of the Lord is with us, even during the trials. The glory of the Lord is our rear guard. Check. ~Michele
