Summary

Ever wonder if God is depriving his people of anything good? Today Emma Dotter is joined by Watermark Student's graduate Anna Sharpe to talk through Psalm 84. If we are wondering if God is withholding good from us, we have to first define what good is. We see throughout the Bible, that true joy and happiness comes only from abiding in Jesus. The best gift God could ever give us is the gift of His Son, and that can never be taken away. We can follow the psalmist's example of being honest with God about how we are feeling and praise Him for what we know to be true of His character.

Additional Scripture Referenced:
1 John 4:19 – "we love because he first loved us"
Matthew 7:9-11 – Sermon on the Mount

0:28.0	student, now college student, here with us today. She's back. It's Ann Sharpe. Hi, guys. Anna,
0:34.1	welcome back. It's fitting that you're on the podcast joining us because for the college students who are in Dallas, 18 to 22 year olds local to Dallas, tonight is rally fall kickoff.

1:33.7	to Psalm 84. And we gave you a prompt that was based out of verse 11. So I'll read verse 11. It says,
1:39.5	For the Lord God is a son and shield. The Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who
1:47.5	walk uprightly. And the question we posed to you, Anna, was, hey, do you ever wonder if God is
