Needs - May 20, 2009

Good Wednesday morning! What do you need today? A few things will come to mind right away: food, clothing, get the kids up, feed the mutt, water, money for lunch, etc. However, Jesus told us not to worry about those things. What is it that we need in this life? The same thing Jesus pointed out during his trial in the desert - to know the Word of God. The Word is both Jesus himself, and the words God put down in the Bible. To know Jesus better each day is a need that takes precedence over our common physical needs. We need to know the Word and we need to study the word of God. We need to love Jesus as He loves us. We need to love our neighbors as ourselves. We need to love God with all of our heart, spirit, mind, and strength. The needs of the day can seem overwhelming when we think of our physical and mental lives. Jesus told us to seek our spiritual needs first, the kingdom of God and its righteousness, and all those other needs will be met. In this life we tend to seek after the immediate physical needs first, they do tend to yammer at as pretty loud, but Jesus told us to fear not!

Have a great day in Christ Jesus!
