8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! 9 Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. 10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. (Psalm 34:8–10, NKJV)
Do you ever feel like you are missing out on something because you are a Christian? The temptation to envy the unrighteous attracts some Christians to their spiritual demise. To resist this temptation, focus on the good blessings you have from the Lord by doing three things mentioned in today’s passage. Strengthen your faith by first trusting in the Lord (v. 8). God has shown Himself to be completely trustworthy. He never deceives or makes false promises; He always keeps His word. He is blessing you in ways you do not even see at this time. Solidify your faith by fearing the Lord (v. 9). We show reverence to God because He provides our daily bread and so much more; our eternal life in Christ. Secure your faith by seeking the Lord (v. 10). God rewards those who believe in Him and “diligently seek Him” (Heb. 11:6). Seek the good things of God though faith. You will find blessings more abundant that all the earth’s treasures – heavenly treasures that never fade (Matt. 6:19-21).
