“And
my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ
Jesus.” Phil. 4:19 NKJV
What did the shepherd boy David want when he
was sitting on the hillside singing this song?
He might have wanted someone with him because shepherding is lonely
work. Jesus said, “I am with you always.” He might have wanted protection from bears
and lions. The book of Job says, “The Almighty shall be thy defense.” He may have wanted strength for the hard work
he did each day. Isaiah said, “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew
their strength.” He may have wanted
a good night’s sleep so he sings elsewhere, “I will both lay me down in peace and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make
me dwell in safety.”
When God asked Solomon what he wanted he
wisely answered that he needed wisdom from God to do his task. If all we want is the lust of the flesh and
lust of the eyes and the pride of life, we will be disappointed with God. If what we want is what we need, however, we
will find Him never to fail. Praise God
that in and through Him we are truly never in want.
Thank
You, Almighty God, that You are the sure provider for the sheep of Your flock.
Amen.
