Available to All

Our Heavenly Father does not desire that His people be in want. He is rather like a wealthy parent who sets up a trust fund for his beloved children. The ‘kids’ may enjoy the father’s benevolence throughout their lives but don’t come into their full inheritance until a specified time.

Believers in the Living God have the assurance of such promises as are found in the most familiar passage of scripture, Psalm 23, which says in vs. 1, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.” Like the shepherd who tends his flock, our Heavenly Shepherd will assure that our needs are supplied.

He reiterates this provision in Psalm 111:5, which says, “God provides food for those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever.” His promises are yea and amen. There is no shadow of turning in Him. “What He has promised, He is able to perform,” (Romans 4:21). It isn’t just to the wealthy that He promises a full supply.

Psalm 132:15 says, “I will bless her with abundant provision; her poor will I satisfy with food.” This promise made to the people of Zion has come to fruition among believers who have put the truth of the Lord to the test. He may not supply all our wants, but our needs—above all our need for salvation—is available to all mankind through Jesus.
