God Is Your...

God is everything you need.

Seriously. What do you need? Everything and anything you need is met perfectly in God. There’s absolutely nothing you truly long for that isn’t found in God.

Let me take a moment to show you this from Scripture. The Book of Psalms is a collection of 150 songs/prayers penned in the crucible of the seasons of life. Celebration, conflict, catastrophe, etc. You name it. The Psalms contain beautiful songs and burdened sighs. Yet, in all of them, God is the answer for the longing soul.

And if you search through the Psalms, here are just some of the ways God is described.

God is your…

• Shield (Psalm 7:10).
• Righteous Judge (Psalm 7:11).
• Deliverer, Refuge, Stronghold (Psalm 18:2).
• Savior, Hope (Psalm 25:5).
• Strength, Ever-Present Help in Trouble (Psalm 46:1).
• Fortress (Psalm 46:7).
• King of All the Earth (Psalm 47:7).
• Guide to the End (Psalm 48:14).
• Mighty Rock (Psalm 62:7).
• Great God, Great King above All gods (Psalm 95:3)

So, again, what do you need? Jesus says in Matthew 11:28-30 to come to Him and find rest. Peter says in 1 Peter 5:6-7 to humble yourself under God’s mighty hand and to cast your cares upon Him.

Simply put: God is your everything. Run to Him first instead of last after all your other attempts to fill your longings fail because He’s all you need.
