Psalms 84:11 - "For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honour. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly."
Upright walk is the prerequisite for God's favour and honour over our lives. We need to be right in the sight of God and also in the sight of man, leading a blameless life and ascertaining that we have a clear image in the society owing to our righteous walk with God.
God wants us to be holy as He is holy and He wants to bless our lives, however He can only act when we react to his truth and lead a holy (righteous) life.
Our walk in life should be upright as we read in Ephesians 4:25-32 - "Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."
If our walk is not upright then we cannot expect God's favour or honour. It takes great efforts to put forth the right foot always and when we start living like that then we can be sure that no good thing will ever be withhold from us.
Have A Blessed Day!
God Bless
Every Day With Jesus
