Helping Those In Need

As I began to write this I thought about the word need. What is a need, really? Life is a struggle because we are human and humans are pulled in many directions. What one person sees as a need another person sees as a want or desire. One thing is clear. God does provide for our needs.

Phillipians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

The word for need here implies lack or even employment. Our God is all about making sure we have what we need from day to day. If we will put Him first, we can have a joy filled life.

Matthew 6: 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

If we can find a way to trust in God, we can make it.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. Let Your kingdom be upon the earth. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Heal us and deliver us. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
