[10] The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing (Psalm 34:10).
That is not necessarily only about financial or material “good things.” I’m sure it includes financial or material good things, but not just limited to that. I believe Solomon was painting a bigger picture with broader strokes and a broader brush. He was looking into the spiritual through the eyes of the Holy Spirit. He was looking toward a time when the worshipers who worship the Father would be worshiping in spirit and in truth. He was seeing our time, the time of grace.
I believe he is, without doubt, also speaking about the “good thing” to come through Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith. Jesus said that anything that two believers agree on earth about and ask for, it will be done for them by His heavenly Father (Matthew 18:19).
The Acts-chapter-2-believers, the early Christians, took Jesus at His word and not only believed but let their mouth voice their faith. This is their prayer: 29 And now, LORD, look upon their threats and grant to Your servants to continue to speak Your Word with all boldness, 30 while You stretch out Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the Name of Your holy servant Jesus (Acts 4:29–30). And in response to their prayer of faith, the place in which they were gathered and were praying was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to preach the Word of God with boldness. And guess what? Signs, and wonders, and incredible acts of healing continued to follow their ministry.
This is a promise that, as they say, we can take to the bank, because God is good for it. Therefore, “No good thing will be withheld from them that diligently seek the LORD.” Signs, wonders, miracles, and healing will accompany those who seek and believe. It was prophesied about and promised to us; therefore, as believers, we can claim that promise. Paul said that all of God’s promises are yea and amen. So, let us lay hold of it with both hands and claim our promise, in Jesus’ Name.
Father, increase our faith that we might believe for the miraculous so that Your Name is glorified among the nations, and that unbelievers may know that there is a God in heaven, and that You still sit upon Your throne, in Jesus’ Name I pray, amen.
