There can be no lack in the life of one who can truly say, because he has been redeemed, that “the Lord is my shepherd,” because “there is no want to them that fear Him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.” This does not mean that we may have everything that we might desire; it does mean that we shall not lack anything that would be for God’s glory and our blessing. In all our circumstances, though they be adverse, we hear Him saying that “My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness,” “for the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect [full] toward Him.” We may have need of prosperity or we may have need of adversity, “but my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” He who is “the God of all grace” shall “make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.” Never forget that “the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly,” for “the Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
The Lord Jesus is my Shepherd,
And I am one of His sheep;
No evil can hurt or harm me;
He is faithful to guide and keep.
