“Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints, for those who fear him have no lack! The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.” Psalms 34:9-10 (ESV)
Just yesterday we considered the words of God which tell us to “Fear Not.” A few verses later in the same psalm we have this encouragement. We are to “Fear The Lord,” which is to have awesome respect and love. It is a promise that if we do, we will not come up short on what we need. Even in nature, for example, young cub lions might get hungry if their mother does not bring back food from her hunt. But in our faith life and in our physical life, seeking the Lord, which is our way of demonstrating our humble attitude which recognizes God as Lord of all, we will not lack the good things we need. This is both physical and spiritual things. God promises to us that the way to be full of Him and always be satisfied with the life He has given to us is to trust and understand the awesomeness of our Almighty God. He is Lord of all creation and Lord of our lives. He cares and He wants us to honor Him as He is worthy. Good things we will not lack if we are truly in awe of our God.
