Verse of the day june 20, 2025 — Psalm 84:11
“For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.”
Today’s Thoughts
There are moments when it feels like heaven has closed its hand. Prayers unanswered, doors unopened, desires delayed. In those aching pauses, it’s easy to whisper, “God, are You holding out on me?”
But Psalm 84:11 pulls back the curtain on God’s heart: He withholds no good thing. Not from you. Not from the one walking in step with Him. He’s not a God of scarcity. He is a sun—radiant, faithful, life-giving. And He is a shield—strong, unwavering, protective in unseen ways.
If the answer hasn’t come yet, it’s not because He’s reluctant. It’s because He’s wise. Like a master gardener, He knows when the soil of your life is ready to receive what you’ve prayed for. And until that time, His favor surrounds you. His honor lifts you. His presence keeps you.
You’re not being punished; you’re being prepared.
You’re not overlooked; you’re being overshadowed by His glory.
So breathe. Trust the delay. Your Father isn’t withholding blessing—
He’s weaving it into perfect time.
Today’s Prayer June 20, 2025
Father, when I don’t understand Your timing, help me trust Your heart. Remind me that You are my sun when life feels cold, and my shield when fear surrounds me. Teach me to walk blameless not by perfection, but by leaning on Your grace. Thank You for never withholding what is truly good for me. I rest in Your promise today. In Jesus’ name, amen.
