Needs met
Phi 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Or "fulfill all your need": the Jews, when they would comfort any, under the loss of any worldly enjoyment, used to say, "God fulfill", or "will fulfill thy need"
What is your need today? What do you require, so that you may live life to its fullest degree today?
Moses, in a bit of a panic, asked God: Exo 3:13 Then Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the People of Israel and I tell them, 'The God of your fathers sent me to you'; and they ask me, 'What is his name?' What do I tell them?"
Moses needed reassurance that things would turn out OK, that the task at hand will be met and that people would believe him and in him and the message he brought.
God answered: Exo 3:14 God said to Moses, "I-AM-WHO-I-AM. Tell the People of Israel, 'I-AM sent me to you.'"
Who do you need God to be in your life today?
Do you need a friend? Do you need a comforter? Do you need someone to protect you or guide you?
God says: “I am, whomever you need me to be for you, I am”
I am your friend. I am your comforter. I am your guide.
He will supply all our needs, according to His riches and Glory.
As D. L. Moody said, "Trust in yourself, and you are doomed to disappointment; trust in your friends, and they will die and leave you; trust in reputation, and some slanderous tongue may blast it; but trust in God, and you are never to be confounded in time or eternity." Luther gave a similar testimony when he said, "I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess."
Psa 138:2 I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth's sake; for You have magnified Your Word above all Your name.
What a powerful statement! God has magnified His Word above His name. We know how important God's name is to us: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Rom. 10:13). It is through His name that we are saved: "The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and are safe" (Prov. 18:10).
First, He tells us that we can have confidence in our asking when we are asking according to His will. Why would this kind of asking give us confidence?
Because when we ask according to His will, He hears us; if He hears us, then we will receive what we asked for. So, what is the key to receiving? Getting God to hear us.
How do we get Him to hear us? Ask according to His will. What is His will? His Word! When we base our asking on what His Word says, then we will have what we are asking for because God is listening to us when we ask according to His will.
Based on these verses, we need to search the Scriptures and find verses that speak to the area for which we are going to ask before we ask. The more of God's Word we incorporate into our asking, the more we will receive.
That is His promise to us, and "God is not a man, that he should lie" (Num. 2 3:19).
Doubt and unbelief, will be eradicated from our lives, once we purposefully decide to follow the instruction of the Word.
This does not happen by itself, it is the result of a conscious decision.
Joh 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you. 8 In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, so you shall be My disciples. 9 As the Father has loved Me, so I have loved you; continue in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love, even as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.
