He wishes all would come to Him. …Patient He comes to us, slow to anger and abounding in love, leaving the 99, for just one. He will take the time to reach us. He will continue to pursue you. …Personal "And if he finds it, He rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray." This means quite literally…When someone who is lost is found, repents of their sin, and comes to the Father… “He is ‘happier than ever before.” (Matt 18:13).

Pr. Nick preached on Lacking Nothing from James 1:2-18 in our sermon series “How to Live.” When’s the last time you thought…”I can’t do this!” Or maybe…”I don’t have what it takes, so I can’t.” It’s in moments like this that God desires we turn to Him. In worship (praise and adoration) we take time to reflect upon the character of God. God is lacking nothing! He is all powerful and all knowing! The testing of your faith produces steadfastness. James tells us that the character of genuine faith is one that is stable or constant towards God. The goal of genuine faith is to produce in us something pleasing to God in accordance to His will and work. What is the benefit of choosing joy in any circumstance? Blessing comes after because you’re stronger because of it. The best gifts are from above - not from this life. Here is the awesome thing about God: His lacking in nothing is our lacking in nothing making us complete in Him. Ready and able for anything the world throws at us.
