“The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing” (Psalm 34:10).
Normally we would think of lions, and especially young lions, as being strong enough to find their prey and get food without any problem, but there are times when they do lack, and are hungry. Here in our verse for today we have the Lord’s assurance that they who seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. What does this mean?
It means that when we look to the Lord, He is able to provide for us even when it is naturally difficult. It means that we can trust the Lord in any problem, even if there seems to be no way for the problem to be solved. However, we must remember that the Lord may test our faith; He may not give us what we need all at once. Also, He may not give us whatever we ask for, but we will not lack anything that is good for us. This is very reassuring.
