Good Morning!
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence and worship Him with obedience], and He rescues [each of] them. O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good; how blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who takes refuge in Him. O [reverently] fear the Lord, you His saints (believers, holy ones); for to those who fear Him there is no want. The young lions lack [food] and grow hungry, but they who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing. -Psalms 34:7-10
These verses bring peace and calm to my mind knowing that the more we pursue God, the deeper our relationship with Him, the more blessings we will receive and the more fulfillment we can experience. The last part of this verse says that those who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing. Too often we gauge this off of material gain and we may compare to others and what they have and think that this passage is not totally true because we are gauging it to material blessings, but I would encourage us to truly focus on what brings us fulfillment, not what brings us short term joy. Fulfillment is found in the mind and heart, not in the material possessions that we have and while it can be fun to have material possessions that is not our identity. Our identity should be rooted in Christ. Meditate on the verses above and see what kind of peace that brings to your day.
“Success is not just making money. Success is happiness. Success is fulfillment; it’s the ability to give.” -Adam Neumann
“Sometimes we can’t find the thing that will make us happy, because we can’t let go of the thing that was supposed to.”
