“Your heavenly Father knows what you need.” (Matthew 6:32)
What do you need today? Something better at work? Just need work? Something better in a relationship? Just need a relationship? Something better in your finances? It’s not really a thing, something outside yourself that you need. You are the object of need. You need someone to know you for who you are, the good and the bad, and someone who will still say, “I’m with you unconditionally.” Externals are a distraction.
“Your heavenly Father knows what you need.””
A few years ago I had a stress test. Got on the tread mill and all that. The official report was OK. I saw the images of my heart. There it was, doing its God given thing, beating. These heart images were a new look for me but something God has seen all my years…and for all your years. “O Lord, You have examined me, and You know me. You are all around me – in front of me and in back of me. You alone created my inner being. You knitted me together inside my mother.” (from Psalm 139)
“Why spend the day in blank despair, in restless thought the night? On your Creator cast your care; He makes your burdens light.” (Paul Gerhardt)
“Your heavenly Father knows what you need.”
