I shall not want.
Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
This was David‘s conclusion, from the belief that the Lord was his
shepherd. If we are the sheep of Christ,
He will supply us. He has all things in His possession, the silver and the gold
are His, and the cattle upon thousand hills.
His private mark is upon all. All spiritual blessings are in His possessions
also; and He has a kind, tender, and liberal heart. He will give. He has engaged to supply,
conduct, protect, and present His flock upon mount Zion.
He has promised to be to us, do for us, and bestow upon us, all that our
circumstances require.
His conduct towards His flock in old times is a sufficient guarantee; when
ever were the righteous forsake; or His sheep left neglected and unheeded?
Did David. ever want? Few passed
through greater changes, or severer trials; yet upon his dying bed he tells us,
he had all his desires.
If you belong to Christ, you may safely conclude, “I shall not want.” Your
fears are follies; your anxieties are groundless; your forebodings are sinful; you
have a God to provide for you, and you are to rejoice.
“My God,” says the apostle, “shall supply all your needs, according to His
glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”
What want shall not our God supply
From His redundant stores?
What streams of mercy from on high
An arm Almighty pours.
James Smith
