Fear: the fear of lack

Fear: the fear of lack by ric Gustafson


We want to take care of ourselves and our loved ones. When we feel that we are not being taken care of, fear can fill our thoughts, words and emotions. As a believer in Jesus, instead we can put our faith in God to meet all of our needs. God is faithful and he will always provide what we need. God wants us to take a step of faith. Matthew 25:21 says if we are faithful in little things God can make us rulers over much.
We need to trust God and he will always take care of us. Not only can we lack money but also strength, ability, wisdom and relationships. God's Word teaches us that he will provide all that we will need. We need to trust God for grace, wisdom, creativity and strength. Psalm 23 says that the Lord is our Shepherd  and we shall not lack. John 10 says that Jesus is the Good Shepherd and that he takes care of his sheep.
We should not fear lack because God our Father will always provide what we need.
