Let God Meet Your Needs!

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful...” Hebrews 10:23

He had decided to buy the new car regardless of his financial state. He also tried to forget the fact that his wife had just had a baby. He refused to consider a nice, affordable, used car.

God is committed to meeting our needs. However, He is not committed to meeting all our wants. Several things work against God’s desire to meet our needs:

> Disobedience - When we disobey God, we face the consequences of our sin. Often that means waiting for the things He wants to build into our lives.

> Doubt - It defuses God’s plan for us. It also signal a lack of faith in His ability to provide for us.

> Manipulation - Trying to meet your needs your way leads to spiritual fraud. God sees through manipulation. He wants your life to be sincerely obedient before Him.

> Wrong motivation - Motives that are not God-centered never yield lasting peace. Set your focus on God, not the things of this world.

> Ignoring our responsibilities - When we ignore our God-given responsibilities - family, friends, and jobs - our fellowship with God becomes clouded and we struggle spiritually.

Let Christ by your Provider, and He will meet your needs perfectly.
