Lack Nothing

8 Taste and see that the Lord is good. How happy is the man who takes refuge in Him! 9 You who are His holy ones, fear Yahweh, for those who fear Him lack nothing. 10 Young lions lack food and go hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.

Psalm 34:8-10 HCSB

The psalmist is saying to come see how good He is for yourself. Take refuge in Him, because that is where true happiness is found. Fear Yahweh reminds me of, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and discipline. (Proverbs 1:7 HCSB)" But it also reminds me of “And I say to you, My friends, don’t fear those who kill the body, and after that can do nothing more. But I will show you the One to fear: Fear Him who has authority to throw people into hell after death. Yes, I say to you, this is the One to fear! (Luke 12:4-5 HCSB)" God is worthy to be feared; He is all powerful. And because He's all powerful I can trust Him to provide for all my needs.
