Before You Need
But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their much speaking. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what things you have need of before you ask Him.
- Matthew 6:7-8
You serve a God who supplies your needs before you even know you have a need. He created the seed that would grow into the tree that would be crafted into the chair you are sitting on. The Almighty had you in mind long ago when that seed first fell to the ground.
If you have a need, that's proof He has already provided everything for that need to be met. Regardless of the situation, you may be in at this very moment, God has already provided. Whether your children need new shoes or you do not know how you are going to pay the rent, rest in the assurance that not only will He provide, but He will stop Satan in his tracks. God knows your need. He had a plan to take care of everything before you were even born.
Take time to set aside all of your physical and emotional needs for your greatest need--your need of Him. Hunger and thirst after God. Seek Him with your whole heart. Know that when He meets with You then every need is met.
Thank you Lord, for knowing and meeting all my needs. How I need you, O God. Visit me with Yourself for in you all my needs are met. Hallelujah! Amen.
