"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."

Psalm 84:11

If God is the greatest of all goods then won't he "not withhold" himself from us? Or is this just kind of like a "(in the right time) No good thing does He withhold"?

Also is this the same reason why in some seasons we might ask for God to reveal His will to us and it seems we get no response, or is there something deeper going on there?

Thanks for all this Ross! Im sure Im not the first to say this but when you finish writing all the posts "veiled" 😂 in ur brain you should collect them all into a book. I'd buy it, hahahaha!

I agree that all of your writings would make a great book. I think you posted this before the eclipse, but this writing made me think of how we had to look through a special covering to see it, lest our eyes burn up. And, of course, so many instances in the Bible, where Jesus “covers” his full glory such as asking some that he healed to tell no one, moving away from the crowds, etc. I never thought about this overarching theme of covering and revelation this way that you have explained. Thank you for sharing this revelation with us.
