God is the Answer to all of Your Needs

There is a Scripture that I have always liked. "But my God shall supply all of my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." I believe it. The Lord has always taken care of me. It does says all of my NEEDS not all of my WANTS. Those are two different things. If you had everything that you ever wanted, you would probably be a spoiled brat and totally unmotivated. You really wouldn't be fulfilled at all. On the other side of the coin so to speak, some people think that "needs" means that God will just barely get you by...only the essentials in life. That isn't true either. God desires to bless His people but there are some things that we are required to do. No it isn't a catch. It is called the laws of reciprocity. It has to do with being a giver. The scripture says to give and it shall be given, good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over...Even if your not saved, that is a law that is in effect, if you're a giver. If your motive gift is giving, you will always have a desire to give to people even if you are not saved. Motive gifts are a whole other post so I won't go into that right now. So if you are a Christian, you should be tithing on a regular basis. Tithe means 1/10 of your income. Did I hear a gulp from some of you? That is what you give to your church where you get fed the Word every week. If you are not getting "fed" then you should run not walk to a church where the word of God is preached unashamedly. If you have been getting spiritual baby food for many years, it might be hard to swallow the meat of the word at first, but hang in and receive what the Lord has for you. The whole purpose of my blog site is to talk about God's love for you. Know this, that He will bless you in many good ways. Some of us only think of finances, which is one but He will also give to you peace. PEACE...priceless! Rich people can't buy that commodity. You can go to bed at night and lay your head upon your pillow in peace. Does that mean you will never have anymore problems? Uh,no. BUT the Lord will see you through them and give you peace and hope while you do go through them. How does God do that? I really don't know, I just know that He does. Are you going through some situations and you don't know what to do? His word also says to ask him for wisdom and He will give it to you. Let's ask for that daily and see how our lives improve! Remember that He loves you and will help you, just reach out to him and ask. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. BE Blessed!
