⁹ Fear the Lord, you his holy people,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
¹⁰ The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

Psalm 34:9-10

By faith, you will not lack anything you need!
God exercises his care and provision even in the most difficult times of our lives. Remember that on the darkest days, the sun continues to shine behind the clouds. We can't see it, but it's there shining... Our eyes can't see it, but God is still on His holy throne in heaven, He sees all and can do all. He is also at your side, you just have to believe! He is good, He sustains those who trust and rest in Him.

In the desert, the people of Israel complained about the lack of the variety of food they had in Egypt. But they could enjoy daily water and manna, the bread from heaven, which God sent. They forgot to be thankful for what they already had and that this phase in the desert was temporary, that they would be fine if they didn't grumble so much...

The heavenly Father always takes care of his children. Even if you don't have 'everything' that you would like to have, be grateful for what you already have now. God gives you enough for today and helps you to carry on. Believe this most difficult phase will pass! Be satisfied with Jesus, the living Bread that came down from heaven, and trust that He is the God of miracles!

What's missing?

• Depend more on the Provider than on provision.
• Read Matthew 6:25-34. What does Jesus teach you in these words?
• Reflect on life for a moment: is what you have enough? Do I have air to breathe, something to eat, drink and wear?
• Pray, ask God for today's 'bread' and give thanks. Repeat the prayer tomorrow and the next day.
• You don't need to accumulate possessions to be prosperous and happy. The greatest wealth in life is having God and enjoying His provision daily.
• Ask God to help you use the resources you have at your disposal. Fight with the weapons God has given you!
• Share what God gives you with those in need. With Christ, little is much; He multiplies when we share!
• Find a mature brother or sister in the faith, tell them what's troubling you and ask them to pray with you. You are not alone!
• Jesus can turn lack into prosperity. Give him your cause and depend on the Lord.

Pray:

My Lord and my God, I trust in your provision! Help me always to depend and trust on your Word. Thank you for what I have, God. Even though it may be small, You have never left me lacking in essentials. I trust in You, now and always! Look at our situation, Father, and bless us for your glory! I thank you for everything, in Jesus' name, amen!

Having boldness is not easy, but when we have the presence of God in our lives, we can be bold and confident in the face of challenges that arise before us. In God, we can find the courage necessary to confront the trials that arise, knowing that God is faithful and is always by our side.

If you are going through a difficult time, do not despair; trust in God and have the courage to move forward with faith. He will help you overcome everything that seemed insurmountable and give you the strength you need to conquer.

Believe, God is your protective shield, and nothing is impossible for Him!

Have faith and boldness

• Seek God in prayer. Read the Bible to strengthen your faith and confidence in Him.
• Remember that the Holy Spirit is within you, giving you the boldness necessary to face whatever problems arise.
• Put your trust in God and not in circumstances, knowing that He can accomplish the impossible!
