How to Get What You Need!

Throughout Scripture, God has promised to meet our needs.  Whether the needs are:  Emotional.  Financial.  Physical.  Spiritual.  Relational.  Or, just everyday needs of your life.  In fact, one of the Hebrew names for God is Jehovah Jirah, which means “I am the God who provides for you.”  Philippians 4:19 “My God will supply all that you need  from His glorious resources in Christ Jesus.” 

In order to receive, we must trust!  If you are like me, this gets really tough!  I truly believe that the more we trust God, the more our needs our met.  The psalmist said, Psalm 13:5, "But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me."  Also, Psalm 50:15 “I want you to trust Me in your times of trouble so I can rescue you and you can give Me glory.”  God is in the business of giving.  We must be in the business of trusting!

The Bible also talks about the faith factor.  Jesus said in Matthew 9:29, “According to your faith it will be done unto you.”  Faith is tough too!  Especially, when everything around you is burdensome.  There are great promises told in Scripture for anyone who has priority faith.  As a matter of fact, Matthew 6:32-33 from the New Living Translation says, “Your heavenly Father already knows all your needs and He will give you all you need from day to day if you live for Him and make the kingdom of God your primary concern.” 

When you need, trust!  Trust in a God who knows you, loves you, and died for you.  When you need, have faith! Have faith in a God who provides for you.  Have faith in a God who promises great riches when you display faith. 

Remember, Be God Controlled,
