Comm'on all is well

For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present]

grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly

bliss)! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly"

(Psalms 84:11, Amplified).

God has got your life all figured out from the present to the future.

Everything about you and me is all planned for by our heavenly Father.

His objective is to extend to us, out of His bounty, all the good

things we need for a fulfilled life here on earth. Our own duty is to

walk uprightly with Him as well as before Him in our dealings with

fellow men.

The primary dictionary meaning of the word 'upright' is to be vertical

and erect. From this, we get an idea that to walk uprightly, our first

responsibility is to be in a correct vertical relationship with God.

Your spiritual life or your relationship with God is what really

defines your life. If you are nothing in that department, you are

nothing everywhere else, regardless of your achievements in those

other areas of life.

A lot of folks are yet to realise that being correct with God is not

an 'elective' or even a 'required' course. It is a compulsory course,

and if you happen not to have registered for it, your life career is

automatically grounded. The point is that you have failed a compulsory

course and therefore, you cannot graduate even if you got an 'A' in

all other courses. That is why the Bible says we should seek first the

kingdom of God and its righteousness. But don't forget that the other

'courses' in the department of relating appropriately with fellow men

in the sight of God must also be attended to. We will have time to

discuss more on this in subsequent occasions.

Let me conclude by drawing your attention to the fact that what we are

talking about concerns everyone of us who has been admitted into the

University of Life. Remember that our scripture verse for today began

by telling us that the Lord God is a sun and shield. That is a kind of

idiom, implying that for as long as you exist under the sun, you

should listen and apply these words to your life. The Lord help us all

in Jesus' name.
