Those That Trust in the Lord Will Not Want, and with Quietness Work, and Mind Their Own Business.

Psa 34:1-10

I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and be glad.
O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together!
I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
Look to him, and be radiant; so your faces shall never be ashamed.
This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
O taste and see that the LORD is good! Happy is the man who takes refuge in him!
O fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no want!
The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

If we hope to spend eternity in praising God, it is fit that we should spend much of our time here in this work. He never said to any one, Seek ye me in vain. David's prayers helped to silence his fears; many besides him have looked unto the Lord by faith and prayer, and it has wonderfully revived and comforted them.

When we look to the world, we are perplexed, and at a loss. But on looking to Christ, our whole salvation is dependent on Him, and all things that are needful also. This poor person, whom no one looks at with any respect, or looks after with any concern, was yet welcome to the throne of grace; the Lord heard them, and saved them out of all their troubles. The holy angels minister to the saints, and stand for them against the powers of darkness. All the glory is to the Lord of the angels.

By taste and sight we both make discoveries, and have enjoyment; Taste and see God's goodness; take notice of it, and take in the comfort of it. He makes all truly blessed that trust in Him. As to the things of heaven, they will have grace sufficient for the support of spiritual life; even so as in this life, they will have what is necessary from the hand of God. Paul had all, and abounded, because he was content, (Phi. 4:11-18) those who trust in themselves, and think their own efforts sufficient for them, will always be in want; but they will be fed who trust in the Lord. Those will not want, who with quietness work, and mind their own business.
