Where’s My Good Thing? Psalms 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” “I’ve been living right, walking right and working hard! I’ve been asking, knocking and seeking! So where’s my good thing? “ Some feel that God should give us what we want when we want it, but has it occurred to you that if that happened it might be dangerous to us? Have you ever considered that we may not be as ready for it as we think and God is simply protecting us? God is so ready to bless His own. Yet He also knows when we are ready for them. He has already blessed some of us to the capacity we can handle. If He gave us more we, for one reason or another, would not be able to handle the abundance. Some of us would not be grateful, while others wouldn’t be prepared for the responsibility. Just because the blessing you desire is a good thing, does not presently make it a good thing for you. Given this fact it is essential that we reexamine our circumstances and desires. Sometimes we press too hard toward that which we conclude is a good thing and presume we are exercising faith and persistence, but in reality, if we search ourselves, we will find that we have stress, anxiety/pressure. What we should really look for is the peace of God. If His peace is not there, then we need to reconsider our situation. Are things not going as they should? If this is the case, then maybe it is not God’s timing and you need to back away from it. In time God will demonstrate that our timing was off and that there was a reason for not making that move or receiving that blessing. You will find out that sometimes that same opportunity opens up for you and everything works out far better than we would have initially imagined. That’s because it will be in God’s timing. Trust God’s timing. Be greatly encouraged “for the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry (Habakkuk 2:3).”
