The concept of wanting is addressed throughout Scripture, highlighting both the physical and spiritual dimensions of human need.<br><br><b>Material Wanting</b><br><br>The Bible acknowledges the reality of material want and provides guidance on how believers should respond to it. In the Old Testament, God's provision for the Israelites in the wilderness is a testament to His care for those in need. <a href="/exodus/16-18.htm">Exodus 16:18</a> states, "When they measured it by the omer, he who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall. They gathered as much as they needed to eat." This passage illustrates God's provision, ensuring that no one was left wanting.<br><br>The wisdom literature also addresses material want. <a href="/proverbs/13-25.htm">Proverbs 13:25</a> notes, "The righteous eat to their hearts’ content, but the stomach of the wicked goes hungry." This suggests a moral dimension to material sufficiency, where righteousness is linked to provision.<br><br><b>Spiritual Wanting</b><br><br>Spiritual wanting is a significant theme in the Bible, often depicted as a deeper, more profound need than physical lack. <a href="/psalms/23.htm">Psalm 23:1</a> famously declares, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." This verse conveys the idea that with God as a shepherd, spiritual needs are fully met, and there is no lack.<br><br>In the New Testament, Jesus addresses spiritual wanting in the Beatitudes. <a href="/matthew/5-6.htm">Matthew 5:6</a> states, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Here, the desire for righteousness is portrayed as a spiritual hunger that God promises to satisfy.<br><br><b>Moral and Ethical Wanting</b><br><br>The Bible also speaks to moral and ethical deficiencies, often using the term "wanting" to describe a lack of integrity or righteousness. In the book of Daniel, King Belshazzar is found wanting in moral character. <a href="/daniel/5-27.htm">Daniel 5:27</a> reads, "TEKEL means that you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient." This passage underscores the importance of moral integrity and the consequences of being found wanting in God's eyes.<br><br><b>Response to Wanting</b><br><br>Scripture provides guidance on how believers should respond to both their own wanting and the needs of others. <a href="/acts/20-35.htm">Acts 20:35</a> encourages generosity: "In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’" This teaching emphasizes the Christian duty to address the wants of others through acts of charity and kindness.<br><br>Furthermore, the Bible calls believers to trust in God's provision. <a href="/philippians/4-19.htm">Philippians 4:19</a> assures, "And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus." This promise encourages faith in God's ability to meet both material and spiritual needs.<br><br>In summary, the concept of wanting in the Bible encompasses material, spiritual, and moral dimensions. Scripture provides both assurance of God's provision and a call to ethical living and generosity, addressing the multifaceted nature of human need.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
