2 Corinthians 8:15; No Lack

2 Corinthians 8:15 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.

The Apostle Paul quotes Exodus 16:18 And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.

God provided manna to meet the shortage of food in the wilderness after Israel left Egypt.

God takes care of His people. All who trust in Him will find in Him their all-sufficiency. We can rest in the Lord’s care for us. The psalmist testifies in Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not want. We shall have no lack who trust in our God.

Psalm 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

Isaiah 30:23 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.

What privilege it is for God’s people to receive God’s care. Amen.
