The LORD does not let the righteous go hungry but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. (Proverbs 10:3)
It appears to me that Solomon is going way beyond literal food here although it is certainly included. Covetousness is deadly. What is that we want? If the Lord is with us, we will get it. If he isn’t, we’re better off without even if we do eventually get it through much frustration, stress and even deception. It’s easy to think if we want it, God wants it for us too. However, we need to genuinely evaluate whether this desire for something is either from God or not, appropriate or not. Do we want a frustrated, difficult life or do we want to bear the yoke of Him who is easy? When a crisis comes, it is your relationship with God that will get you through it.
