Psalms 23:1. The 23rd Palms say, "The Lord is our shepherd. We shall not want." If this is true, why do we lack? The reason we lack is that we do not really believe God's promises and we are not obedient to Him. God's promises are offered to all that accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. If we truly believe in God's promises, we will lack no good thing. Like a shepherd, He sustains life and protects life. Because we are His good sheep having faith in the Shepherd, He will let us lack no good thing. All we need to do is be a good, faithful sheep. A good sheep believes in the Shepherd, stays close to the Shepherd, continually listens for His guidance, and obeys his word. If the Lord is our shepherd, we shall not want (Palms 23:1, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want").

Psalms 84:11. As a shepherd, God is the giver of grace and glory to His good sheep. If we are His good and faithful sheep, we will not go lacking. All God asks is that we have faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior If we doubt the truth of Jesus or try to do things on our own without God, we will go lacking. We must truly believe in our heart that God will provide for all of our needs. He is our provider and protector. If we have faith in Jesus Christ and walk upright, He will not let us lack no good thing (Psalms 84:11, "For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.").

Matthew 7:11. Most of us know that our parents will always strive to provide us with good things. God who is perfect and never lies can do so much better in providing us good things. The best gift He provided us was the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ's crucifixion and ultimate resurrection. God will provide good things if we trust in Him. There is no good reason for us to doubt God, and ask ourselves why do we lack. We must believe in God's promises and be obedient. To receive good things from God all we need to do is to be good, faithful sheep and look to our Shepherd for all of our needs (Matthew 7:11, "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?").
