THEY THAT SEEK THE LORD SHALL NOT WANT ANY GOOD THING.

August 22

Psalms 34:10  

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but 

they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. 

What a comfortable promise is this to the poor, weak, and timid Christian; he has not attained to a state of assurance, but he is seeking the Lord, and here his God promises him that he shall not want any good thing.

He feels that he has no good thing in him, finds he can do no good thing of himself, fears that good will never be enjoyed by him; but his God assures him no good thing shall be withheld from him.

His God will pardon his sin, justify his person, strengthen his soul, supply his needs, comfort his heart, conquer his foes, sanctify his trials, and give him victory over death.

He shall not want long, if God is able to supply; he cannot be neglected, if our God is true; he shall receive all that is good, and when, and as it will do him most good.

Let us therefore seek the Lord, and rest assured that He will withhold from us no good thing.

The silver and the gold are His, and He says, “If ye being evil know how to give good things unto your children, how much more show your heavenly Father give good things to them that ask Him.

If earthly parents hear

Their children when they cry,

If they with love sincere

Their children’s want supply,

Much more will God His love display

And answer when His children pray.
