What Do You Need?

Philippians 4:19 - “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”

Some of us need to stop thinking and do, while others need to stop doing and think. Some need to stop asking and give, though others need to cease giving and ask. Some of us need to stop crying and smile, yet others need to stop smiling and cry. Some need to stop confronting and give in, while others need to quit compromising and confront. Some of us need to stop waiting and run, though others need to stop running and wait. Some need to practice discipline and organize, yet others need to cease structuring themselves into a box and relax.

What do you need?

God is big enough to help us all. His power and resources are unlimited. He will meet us at the precise point of our individual needs.

Lord, cause me to be aware of my unique shortcomings.
And then help me boldly address my needy areas with your strength.
I promise to cooperate with the maturing process.
I’ll trust you to meet my needs.

So many times in recovery, I was broke and my God supplied. A cheque that was an over payment for some magazines, a government check, a friend asking me to baby sit, a dear friend and/or neighbour, and broke just doesn't mean money. That phone rings and you just know God sent you a blessing or someone else needs an ear or a shoulder to lean on.

Food for the body, mind, and spirit is there, because my God does meet my needs.
