Good Morning My Beloved ones,
I pray that your
faith is not in what you see, but in the Unseen God who sees and knows all.
Today I want to
talk to you about “All your Need”.
Phillipians 4:19 says,
“But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by
Christ Jesus.” This is one of the most
quoted scriptures in the Bible. Do you
believe it? Has God met all your
need? If not, it could be that you
aren’t in need.
We Americans
know very little about need. Did you
know that I Timothy 6:8 says that we are to be content with having food and
clothes? Not a house, not a car that
runs. Everything else is extra –
blessing bestowed upon us by God. In
fact, I’d go as far as to say that the majority of us, including myself, could
be better described by James 5:5 “Ye have lived in pleasure on this earth and
been wanton. Ye have nourished your
hearts as in a day of slaughter.”
Am I saying it’s
wrong to have things? NO- as long as our things don’t have us. The Apostle Paul put it this way: “But they
that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish and
hurtful lusts which drown man in destruction and perdition.”
How can our God
supply all our need if we are never in need?
If we can rely upon our own two hands, and ingenuity to get us
everything we want, what need have we of God at all?
I need God,
beloved ones. I need His unconditional
love, His grace, His mercy, His forgiveness, His salvation. So do you.
The danger is in being so consumed by the extras that we never recognize
the need. Acknowledge your need of God,
my friends, and He will supply that need from His riches in glory through Jesus
Christ. Be thankful for and enjoy the
extras He’s blessed you with and if you only have food and clothing, be
content. If we could learn to let go of
the things that lead to foolish and hurtful lusts, we would see that all we
need is Jesus. And my God has supplied
that need for each one of us.
With every need supplied, Raelynn
