Today's Verse - Psalm 84:11-12 (KJV)

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.

—Psalm 84:11-12 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

These promises are made to the true worshiper of God (Psalm 84:1-10). This worshiper delights to be in the presence of God and yearns to be with God in worship. This worshiper trusts fully in God as the source of strength, hope, victory, and joy. For this kind of worshiper, God has left an incredible set of promises! Very similar to Romans 8:32-39, and its hallmark passage in Romans 8:28, God promises to work out things for good and bless those who "love him and are called according to his purpose". Paul goes on to say that God will "graciously give us all things" in Christ (Romans 8:32). Notice how this is very similar to our Psalm today: "...no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless." Why these lavish promises? Because God is for us! He is our sun and shield. He lavishes his grace and glory upon us. He will not withhold any good thing from us as we seek to have a walk that is blameless.

My Prayer...​

O dear Father, how can I thank you? You have lavished your grace upon me in Jesus. You have promised me victory and heaven. I praise you for your grace. I thank you for sharing your glory with me. I rejoice knowing that you long to bless me. Now, dear Father, help me through your Holy Spirit to be the faithful person you long for me to be. "Make my life a holy praise unto you."* In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

When seeking guidance or comfort through prayer, especially regarding dreams, it's important to focus on themes of purity, peace, and understanding. Here are some Bible verses and a prayer you might consider:

### Bible Verses:
1. **Psalm 4:8** - "In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety."
2. **1 Thessalonians 5:18** - "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."
3. **Philippians 4:6-7** - "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

### Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come before You seeking understanding and peace. I thank You for Your presence in my life and for the dreams You allow me to have. Please help me to discern their meaning and to find comfort in Your word. Guide my thoughts and actions to align with Your will, and grant me the wisdom to interpret these dreams in a way that brings me closer to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Remember, dreams can be complex and personal, so it's also helpful to reflect on them in light of your faith and seek guidance from trusted spiritual advisors if needed.
