Therefore have I hope: It comes down to this:

It comes down to this:

"to those who fear Him there is no want." Psalm 34:9

"they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing." Psalm 34:10

"No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly." Psalm 84:11

So.

Either...
1) I am not fearing Him and walking uprightly, 2) I am not seeking Him, or 3) "this" is not a good thing for me (at least right now).

Because...
1) He is good, and 2) He doesn't lie.

I've thought about this too...the 3rd point is the hardest for me to see; the "good" that I think I need and want, how is it not good? And how can what I call "bad" be good? It calls for faith in the God Who IS good and only does good...and Who LOVES me. I read something beautiful along these lines recently: http://kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com/2011/03/i-am-so-old.html

In A Place Called...

"...Doubting Castle, which is kept by giant Despair, who despiseth the king of the celestial country, and seeks to destroy the holy pilgrims:

Now a little before it was day, good Christian as one half amazed, brake out into this passionate speech : ‘What a fool’, quoth he, ‘am I, thus to lay in a stinking dungeon, when I may as well walk at liberty? I have a key in my bosom, called Promise, that will I am persuaded, open any lock in Doubting Castle’. Then said Hopeful, ‘That's good news, good brother, pluck it out of thy bosom and try’. Then Christian pulled it out of his bosom, and began to try at the dungeon door; whose bolt as he turned the key gave back, and the door flew open with case, and Christian and Hopeful both came out.”

~The Pilgrim's Progress, John Bunyan
