In Psalm 34:10 the Word gives us an insight into the heart of God that is at once motivating and inspiring. Here it says, “They that seek the Lord shall lack no good thing.” The great God of all that is, of all that is seen and all that is unseen loves us so much that He assures a reward to those who are willing to seek Him.

This offer should have great appeal to us for we are the species that pursues knowledge in order to gain power, that pursues position to gain influence that pursues wealth to gain pleasure. We understand the concept of investment and dividends.

We are willing to risk it all if there is the potential to realize a gain. We’ll even buy a lottery ticket with the hope of cashing in although we realize that our chance of winning is slim to none. Should we not, then, be inspired to employ this simple investment of ourselves into an opportunity to reap good things that far exceeds any other! Into the investment of self that cannot fail!

We have the promise of the One who cannot lie that if we will but seek Him—through the reading of His Word the Bible, through prayer, through the surrender of ourselves to the indwelling of His Holy Spirit—we shall be supplied with every good thing. Should we not then be motivated to seek after Him so we may realize His promise of what He knows is good for us!
