“O fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want [nothing missing, nothing broken] to those who fear Him [who obey His Word].” (Psalm 34:9)

God has everything we need, and in Him there is no want. We receive from God not by begging, crying, or complaining. We receive through prayer, worship, and studying God's Word. In worship we become aware of God's presence. Psalm 16:11 says that in His presence there is fullness of joy, and in that joy is the love of God, the joy of the the LORD is our strength, and perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18). The stronger our
relationship is with God, the more we conquer fear with faith, because we intimately know His love. We know who God is, He is El Elyon the Most High, He is El Shaddai, the Almighty One who is more than enough. God is not El Cheapo, for He is so generous to give us Needful Things without taking our souls like the devil played by Max Von Sydow in that Stephen King movie.

Matthew 6:33 says, "Seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." God is telling us, "Put Me FIRST in your life, remove all the idols of money, pleasure, power and SELF, remind Me of the promises in My Word and all these things that you've been wanting from Me will be added unto you. And when you come to talk to Me, enter into My gates with thanksgiving and into My courts with
praise" (Psalm 100:4). God requires our praise and worship and this goes all the way back to Genesis where we learn why God created man in the first place, to fellowship with Him. As we worship God rather than SELF, people or things, we'll discover that He has whatever we need and the things we seek and surely goodness and mercy will follow us all the Days of Our Lives.
