Psalm 34:9-10

In last week’s post Matthew 6:33 Jesus promised to give us all the material things that the unbelievers seek. He knows that we need those things also; therefore, we are commanded to meet the condition He sets forth – “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.” For without Christ Jesus, we are unable to do anything. David commanded the saints of God to reverently fear the Lord for there is no want to them who fear Him (v.9). Our obedience to the Lord, that is, living according to His will, shows our fear of Him and our desire to please Him. 

Most of us have said, “What you need God’s got it.” The beauty of it is because God loved us from the beginning, through His divine power, He has already given us all things that apply to life and godliness (2 Pet.1:3a). Therefore, believers are responsible for living godly lives, using all the gifts and knowledge God has instilled in us to accomplish the purposes for which we’ve been created.

David continued “When young lions don’t have food, they grow hungry, but they who seek the Lord will have every good thing they need” (v.10). Those who walk uprightly before Him will not want; the Lord has promised to “supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” 

Clap your hands and give God glory!
