"The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing." -Psalm 34:10(NIV)
I read this verse in my quiet time the other day, and when I came to it I read it at least 3 times. I really like this verse, because sometimes we get so caught up in thinking "I need more money, I need that new gadget, I need this, I need that." But God tells us if we are seeking the Lord we will lack no good thing. If we're seeking the Lord, and more money was good, God would give it to us. If that new gadget was good, if this & that were good, we would have it, if we're seeking Him. We have to trust that God will provide for us, if we seek Him, with our needs. We don't always need more money, when we do, if we're seeking the Lord, He will provide it. Four words in that verse are keywords, and we have to pay attention to them. The first three are, "seek the LORD." The last is, "good."
Seek the Lord and you will lack no good thing.
That's a promise from God.

What tremendous insight Karlita, I believe you have an excellent view of the situation. Jesus said this about the subject in the New Testament.
ReplyDeleteMatthew 6:25-34 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Isn't it wonderful how the whole Bible fits so perfectly well together?
