Any Good Thing

"The young lions lack and suffer hunger;
But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing"

Psalm 34 : 10 (New King James Version)


'any good thing'.... How many of us know whats good for us ? I dont know which company or which job is good for me ...I dont know which is the place that will be good for me ....

During my college days I suffered with severe pain in my right arm that required me to take physiotherapy for three years. I never understood at that point in time why did God permit it, but as the years passed by I saw His glory revealed in my life. It was a stage of pruning and at the end of it I did begin to bear more fruit . It was 'good'...it was for His Glory ... It was for my spiritual growth ... For sure with my o so limited mind I would have never thought this as good. My first job that I joined after graduation ...I never wanted to be in the software industry...No way would I have thought it as good...But wow the Lord has worked wonders in my life ... Its been such a blessing in that company for the glory of God ... Its always always been for His glory.

So many times we think 'good' means lots of money, good health and worldly happiness . But thats not it ! God knows whats good for us... And its always for the glory of His name. We just need to keep seeking Him ! Seeking His will ! And we will not lack any GOOD thing ! Im not saying we need to be poor and without a good job...No no no... The Bible says in Matthew 6 : 31-33 "“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."
We need to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and everything else that we need God will provide.And as we seek the Lord we will not lack any good thing.

I pray that we will grow in the Lord and walk as per His Holy will . We read in 1 John 2:15-17 "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever"

God Bless
