The concept of lack is addressed throughout Scripture, highlighting both human insufficiency and God's provision.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, lack is frequently associated with material needs, such as food, water, or shelter. For instance, during the Israelites' journey through the wilderness, they experienced a lack of food and water, which God miraculously provided (<a href="/exodus/16-3.htm">Exodus 16:3-4, 17</a>:6). This period of testing revealed their dependence on God for sustenance.<br><br>Proverbs often contrasts the diligent with the lazy, noting that laziness leads to lack. <a href="/proverbs/10-4.htm">Proverbs 10:4</a> states, "Idle hands make one poor, but diligent hands bring wealth." This highlights the principle that lack can result from a lack of effort or wisdom.<br><br><b>New Testament References</b><br><br>In the New Testament, lack is often discussed in the context of faith and spiritual needs. Jesus addresses the issue of lack in the Sermon on the Mount, teaching His followers not to worry about their material needs, as God knows what they need and will provide (<a href="/matthew/6-31.htm">Matthew 6:31-33</a>). This passage emphasizes trust in God's provision over anxiety about lack.<br><br>The Apostle Paul speaks to the sufficiency found in Christ, even amidst physical lack. In <a href="/philippians/4-12.htm">Philippians 4:12-13</a>, he writes, "I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation—to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Here, Paul underscores that spiritual contentment and strength in Christ transcend material circumstances.<br><br><b>Spiritual Lack</b><br><br>The Bible also addresses spiritual lack, particularly the absence of wisdom or understanding. <a href="/james/1-5.htm">James 1:5</a> encourages believers to seek wisdom from God, who gives generously to all without finding fault. This promise assures believers that God will supply what is lacking in their spiritual lives if they ask in faith.<br><br><b>God's Provision</b><br><br>Throughout Scripture, God's provision is presented as the remedy for lack. <a href="/psalms/23.htm">Psalm 23:1</a> declares, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." This metaphor of God as a shepherd caring for His sheep illustrates His commitment to meeting the needs of His people.<br><br>In the New Testament, Jesus is portrayed as the ultimate provider, meeting both physical and spiritual needs. The feeding of the 5,000 (<a href="/john/6.htm">John 6:1-14</a>) is a powerful example of Jesus addressing physical lack while also pointing to Himself as the "bread of life" (<a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>), fulfilling spiritual hunger.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The biblical narrative consistently points to God as the source of all provision, urging believers to trust in His sufficiency rather than their own resources. Whether addressing material, emotional, or spiritual lack, Scripture calls for reliance on God's abundant grace and provision.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

There is but little change in the use of the word in the different versions. Sometimes one of the common synonyms is exchanged for the word itself, e.g. in the Old Testament, <a href="/1_samuel/21-15.htm">1 Samuel 21:15</a> the Revised Version (British and American) has "lack" ("Do I lack madmen?") where the King James Version has "need of"; <a href="/proverbs/5-23.htm">Proverbs 5:23</a>, "for lack," instead of "without"; 6:32, "void of" for "lacketh"; 10:21, "lack" for "want"; 31:11, "lack" for "need"; <a href="/isaiah/59-15.htm">Isaiah 59:15</a>, "lacking" for "faileth." In the New Testament "lack" is the translation of hustereo, literally, "to be behind," and endees, "in want." In <a href="/luke/8-6.htm">Luke 8:6</a>, the Revised Version (British and American) reads "had no" instead of "lacked" in the King James Version. In <a href="/2_corinthians/11-9.htm">2 Corinthians 11:9</a>, the Revised Version gives "my want" for "which was lacking to me" in the King James Version; in <a href="/colossians/1-24.htm">Colossians 1:24</a> "that which is lacking" for "that which is behind"; <a href="/james/2-15.htm">James 2:15</a> "lack" for "destitute." It will readily be seen that sometimes the slight variation helps to explain the meaning.<br><br>G. H.
