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 who walk uprightly
The Lord is a sun,
he lights the darkness,
reveals the hidden places of our hearts.
The Lord is a shield
from the spiritual forces of evil,
not always from the hardships of life.
The Lord gives grace and glory to His children.
The grace bought with blood
the glory of the cross.
No good thing does He withhold
but His ways are not our ways
His thoughts are not our thoughts.
No good thing does He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.

I love: "The Lord is a shield / from the spiritual forces of evil, / not always from the hardships of life." So true-- He does not "protect" us from going through suffering because He knows what is good for us.
