No Good Thing Will He Withold

 “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.”

Ps.23:1

“No good thing will He withhold from those who walk up rightly.” Ps. 84:11

What is it you want? 

A husband, a wife, a child, a new job, a faithful friend, better health, or more money in the bank account.

  So many times the things we pray for or subconsciously want are not “good” in the eyes of God because He knows they would be detrimental to our spiritual health or perhaps He is at work providing these things, but it’s in His perfect timing.

Often He may withhold what we consider “good” things, because God’s good is different than our good. God’s ways are so much higher than our ways and so much better! 

Maybe the delay in answering some of these wants are to give us what’s best-

More faith, a closer intimacy with Him, or to develop a heart that’s compassionate towards others. 

He is the good Shepherd and delights to give good things to His children, which makes me content to want what He sees fit.

When we seems to withhold 

We can rest easy knowing that Jesus will never withhold any good thing from those who walk in His ways.
