Psalm 34:10 (NKJV) reads, ”The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.”
Those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. I pondered these words, wanting evidence of their truth after my friend’s death. I heard God’s voice disclose that though I may be missing the unique expression of His love shown through my friend, I didn’t lack any love.
I had wanted to be permanent that which is, by nature, fleeting. The fleeting nature of our earthly life used to be understood. It doesn’t devalue this life to see it so, but makes it more precious.
God reminded me what is permanent and He set hope before me.

Psalm 103:15-17a reminds me,
“As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes
When the wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its place acknowledges it no longer
But the lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him.”
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes
When the wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its place acknowledges it no longer
But the lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him.”
If the thought comes now that I lack something, anything, I remind myself that I truly lack no good thing. I remember that as I seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, all these things shall be added to me (Matt. 6:33). I am blessed.
I love this life.
