All I Need

It is amazing to learn that despite all of my worrying, striving and effort, Almighty God stands ready to supply my every need! No issue or concern is too big or too small. It can be something with my health, emotional state or spiritual need. He wants us to come to Him and not lean on our own understanding. In fact the Bible indicates Yah is insulted when we look to other ways of obtaining help before asking Him. Here is what Elijah said to the then King of Israel, Ahaziah:

He said to him, "Thus says Yahweh, 'Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'"2 Kings 1:16

Now we know that a King of Israel was commanded by Law to study the word of Yah day and night so that he might rule acceptably. That is why it is said to whom much is given, much is required. In that seat of authority and knowing what God said about following false gods, there was no excuse for his actions. In Ahaziah's heart, there was no God in Israel. He turned his back on the one true source of a positive response to his request. You see Ahaziah inquired of Baal Zebub as to whether or not he would recover from the illness in his feet. Rather than waste his time with Baal, (who did NOT help him), he should have asked Yahweh, the God of Israel to heal him. Just as the prophet Elijah foretold, he died.

God spoke of the wayward nation of Israel as no longer seeking His blessing. They turned instead to witchcraft which is also idolatry. They looked to other things to satisfy their temporal and spiritual needs. Do we do that today? Do we think we can get better advice about our future from a horoscope, Madam Zulu the spiritualist or some other demonic devising? When we choose these sources over consulting the ONE True God, He is rightfully insulted!

The Almighty made us in His image, male and female. He is deeply interested in every aspect of our lives. His son Yeshua delivers His set apart spirit which is the power to lead Godly lives. What more do we need? Really, HE is all I need!

Heavenly Father, You are my everything and Yeshua is my portion forever! Steady my heart to inquire of YOU as to all of my needs today. In Yeshua's name, amen.
