Have you ever run out of a staple in your house, when you really need it? That happened with me recently, when we had out of town guests, and I was totally out of eggs for breakfast. How can an experienced cook, who raises chickens, be without eggs? Good question, but it happened. Thank God for grocery stores that are close by. It is no fun to lack when you have need….it works with money, time, and lots of other things. So can we really believe it when it says in James chapter 1 that we can lack nothing? The Message Bible says it this way, become mature and well developed, not deficient in any way. If we believe what the Word of God has to say, we can be well rounded and well grounded in every area of life. As people who ready, study and meditate on the Word, we can learn how to handle every situation. One of the greatest ways this works is in wisdom. Jesus said if we lack wisdom, just to ask Him for it, and it would be given. We have the mind of Christ, and can know the heart of God, so wisdom should never be lacking in our life. It should be a staple, that we always have! If you need it, just ask! We have not, because we ask not! In Jesus….we lack nothing.
