God Supplies Our Needs

“God will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Messiah Yeshua“ -Proverbs 4:19

There’s an old saying “God helps those who help themselves.” Many people believe this is written in the Bible it isn’t, In all actuality everyone of us have 5 needs.

The problem is we define our wants as needs. I need that dodge hell that’s sitting on the showroom floor that goes 203 miles per hour. Nah, I don’t need that, I would probably kill myself seeing how fast it would go.

We all worry about trials and tribulations that come along and fill our lives and we can lose our way. And we begin to doubt that God can help.

We all know life can be unkind. There are many people even in our own communities with hearts that are broken, shattered dreams and burdens that are so heavy that they believe there is no hope.

We must always remember that God is faithful. No matter how discouraged or disheartened we must embrace the truth of God’s faithfulness. If we focus on our problems instead of God’s faithfulness, we can easily be led down a dangerous road that leads to discouragment and unbelief.

It’s important to be able to distinguish between what we need, and what we desire and trust God’s faithfulness. If we think of children who want things they don’t need, it’s the wisdom of a parent that supplies the needs of a child.

People get into trouble when they want something so bad, that they will do anything to get it. They can ultimately harm their lives by insisting they get what they want.

Paul tells us in Philippians that God does not promise to supply all of our desires and wishes, but He promises that He will supply, and fulfill all our needs.

If we can’t complete God’s plan without something, then it’s a need, and He will answer when we pray for Him to fulfill that requirement.

If I pray for a big fancy boat for my pleasure, God will not likely give that to me. But if I pray for a boat so I can take children fishing and teach them about God, He will most likely give me the resources to get that boat, because of His will not ours.
