If you started making a list of everything you need how long would it be? Not talking about your wants or your wish list but the things you really need. Did you know there is an “In Christ” verse to cover that?
“And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 NLT
As I was sitting here and thinking about what my day has in store I found that in Christ He has already supplied all that I need. Just like Noah was kept safe in the Ark, I am kept safe in Christ.
He became my sin so that I could become his righteousness
He took stripes on his back so that I could be healed
He told me to come boldly to his throne to find help (Him) in time of need
He became my strength when I am weak
He became my peace when things around me are in chaos.
He gave me a cup that runs over when the enemy is trying to steal, kill and destroy
He gave me wisdom when I asked for it
What more could I ask for? Then these verses came to mind, this is the right kind of thinking.
“ You have been raised to life with Christ. Now set your heart on what is in heaven, where Christ rules at God’s right side. 2 Think about what is up there, not about what is here on earth. 3 You died, which means that your life is hidden with Christ, who sits beside God. 4 Christ gives meaning to your life, and when he appears, you will also appear with him in glory.” Colossians 3:1-4 CEV
Not only do we have God’s promise to be all we need here on earth but we have His promise that our life is hidden in Christ and we will be with Him in heaven.
He is ALL I need!
