“O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.” Psalm 34:9
The call from David is to fear the LORD. That is to honor Him in every aspect of our lives. To give Him what He is due because of who He is. They are to respect Him in all their actions and submerse themselves in Him. “O fear the LORD”
Notice who David is addressing, the saints. These are those that have placed their trust in GOD. They are the true children of GOD not the pretenders. Just as it was then so it is today, folks that make claim to a relationship the LORD but have yet to taste the born-again experience. ‘ye his saints”
The benefits of the saints are above all wonderful. All the worry and want is removed from the true follower of GOD. Their desire to satisfy self has left and the desire to honor and love the GOD that lives within them is the purpose of their lives. “for there is no want to them that fear him.”
Note: A pretend believer may reap the benefit of a somewhat peaceful life here but in the end it will never change their address. “You must be born again”!
“Now the just shall live by faith.”
There is no other way.
No matter how good you are,
Without faith you’re sure to pay.
A want-a-be is not enough!
Neither a do-to-be will do!
CHRIST not only wants a part,
He wants every part of you!
“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:” Colossians 1:20
