You Will Lack Nothing

Deuteronomy 8:6-10 (ESV)
6  So you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him.
7  For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing out in the valleys and hills,
8  a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey,
9  a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing, a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper.
10  And you shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land he has given you. 


Prayer Warriors,


There is so much going on in these verses, but I just want us to concentrate on a couple of things. In verse 7, I want us to see that he brings us "into a good land"...... and He starts to describe the Promise Land and what His people will enter into. You see, no matter our circumstances, it's a good land. Why? Lets look at verse 9, "in which you lack nothing" there is not one no good thing we lack. Our father tells us, He will not withhold, one good thing from His children. Just like we withhold no good things  from our children, unless we believe it won't be good for them.....so our farther will also. If we don't have it, it's not good for us, plain and simple. He is a good God and He loves His children, so don't let the enemy till you differently, don't believe his lies. God is our provider! Yes,we must work, like they had too, till the land and dig for copper, but verse 10 tells us, "you shall eat and be full, you shall bless the Lord you God for the good land he has give you."


1 Corinthians 1:4-9 (ESV)
4  I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus,
5  that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge—
6  even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you—
7  so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
8  who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9  God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.


Ladies,


Now let's look at the spiritual aspects of lacking nothing...... Why? We are rich in Him. Who? In Christ Jesus our Lord. In verse 7, he's telling us, we are lacking nothing because we are rich in him in all speech and knowledge. His grace has been poured over us. I believe the Lord wants to use you Ladies, in ways you haven't fully pursued. There could be many reasons why you haven't.......but don't let that stop you from walking in the gifts that He has given you! If he has called you, then he has equipped you. Remember, there's not one good thing that He has withheld from you. You lack nothing because of the grace of Jesus Christ, he has given you all things.


You see Ladies, whether its physical or spiritual we lack nothing! 


Blessings,

Christina
