No Lack
“Not anything that God sees good for them shall those men want (lack) that fear the Lord. If health will do them good, if sickness will do them good, if riches will do them good, if poverty will do them good, if life will do them good, if death will do them good, then they shall not want (lack) them, neither will any of these things come nigh them.”
John Bunyan
