“So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
Matthew 6:31-33
We're a stubborn lot, aren't we? We concern ourselves about so many things that we really shouldn't, but we are determined that no solution will be found without us. Think for a moment, What is your biggest NEED right now? Perhaps it's another cup of coffee, or to feel important, or a chance to step back and regroup, or even the need to know that someone cares.
Yet because we are so stubborn, we don't let anyone know what we truly need because that might come across as a sign of weakness. I'll confess publicly, I have a need to be accepted and loved. I NEED that! Does that make me weak? Nope! That confession makes me human.
Let me give you a premise: "If you will let your needs drive you to God, God will meet your deepest needs." Don't believe me? Do it and see! Jesus promised, in today's passage, that if we seek the Kingdom of God above all else, God will meet our needs. And here's the kicker, He will meet them far better than we ever could!
