Just what I need
"Jesus is all I need" has been playing on the Pandora station I am listening to this morning. My time with God this morning was about keeping the first things first. Matthew 6:33 instructs me to "Seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God..."
There are days when I feel like I need to be rescued from pressures and stresses of life. But Jesus is all I really need.
I am often so busy working down my "to do" list that I resemble a head with my chicken cut off. But Jesus is all I really need.
I hear of the struggles others are facing and my heart grows heavy with concern and sorrow. But Jesus is all I really need.
One of my very favorite verses is Psalm 73:26. It says "My flesh and my heart faileth, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." My flesh fails me at every turn because I just don't have what it takes to override sin in my life. My heart fails me when I become discouraged and disappointed in myself. BUT GOD!!! God has the strength and power that my heart needs. And He has all of it that I could ever use up!
Whatever is happening in your life, your attitude can determine whether it destroys you or not. So if God is the strength my heart (attitude), I can get through ANYthing! And He is my portion forever. I will never run out of His strength, I will never use up my allotment, it will never expire.
Yuppers. Jesus is all I need. "The Lord is my Shepherd - - what else could I want?"
