What Is Lack?

by Debra Burgess  
8/05/2010 / Devotionals

"He who gives to the poor will not lack" I read it but I want to understand it well. What is lack? I live in one of the richest countries in the world and have more than probably 80% of the poorest populations. My eyes look around me however and the comparison is what blinds my sight. If I can only see myself as I stand next to my neighbors than my vision is skewed.

I must look to my heavenly Father. He alone will clear my vision to see the truth. I lack nothing I need. I have a husband, I have friends and family who love me, I have a home, I have food, I have health, I have clothing and these are all good for what I need in the natural. It's not the natural that matters much though.

When I look at Abba Father, I realize I have the greater things. I have love, I have hope, I have peace, I have joy and I have a desire for more of these supernatural treasures. I can help feed and clothe the poor to the best of my ability but that will only take them into another day of survival.

The best gifts to offer those who are truly poor would be love, hope, peace, joy and a hunger for more of the same. Food and clothing are but a doorway into the house of my Father. Offering them what I have to share in these supernatural treasures will point them towards eternity.

I love to encourage the heart of people to be who they are meant to be in Christ, individually made and uniquely designed.
