Those who fear him lack nothing

Psalm 34:9-10: “Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.”

Interesting way to solve the problem of lack? I admit that it sometimes seems weird for me too. Nevertheless, if we seek His face we acknowledge that we need His help and He does help those who seek Him and trust Him. Lack nothing encompasses all areas of life: spirit, soul and body. Jesus talked about it a lot in the gospels. He promised total provision of the Lord if we only trust Him.

Fear of the Lord

Psalm 34: 7: “The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.”

There is protection for those who belong to God. One character feature that separates a Christian from the rest of the world is the fear of the Lord. The world does not fear God. It does not believe that He exists and even if it does, it does not care to think about Him, to say nothing of fearing Him. On the other hand, a Christian knows that He is not only a loving God, but also a Holy One. God hates sin. He loves a sinner. But He has nothing to do with sin and those who are His try do their best to avoid sinning. They fear Him. This helps them to stay in his protection zone. If you are in sin, you are out of his protection zone. Run away from sin. Pray God to help you to get rid of it. He will help you to do it. God bless you and give you His fear. Have a nice day!
