Jesus! All We Need

2Corinthians 9:15 "Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable Gift".

The word of God tells us that "contentment with God is great gain", yet we never seem to be satisfied with anything that we have. It seems that the nature of the natural man is to always be in want.We want bigger houses but don't keep our small apartments clean,want bigger cars but can't afford to put gas in the one we have.Want a better paying job ,but we always call in sick on the one we have now.Want to be head of Gods family, but we haven't shown we can take care of our own.We have yet to be faithful over the little yet we want to be rulers over the many.We sometimes get so blinded by the things of the world we don't have ,that we can't see all that we do have in Jesus.

Everything that God intends for man to have is in Jesus.His love for man is in Jesus.His grace,mercy, giving, forgiving, sharing and caring are all in Jesus.The word says if He will keep no good thing from us.Now don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with ambition,but let us not confuse ambition with greed or gluttony.Why pray for more, when you can't handle that which you already have.God cannot be tempted nor does He tempt any man.So if you are a fool with $20.00, don't ask God to bless you with $100.00, He can't do it, it goes against His nature.Let us learn and make the best of what we have,and use it to our fullest to bring glory to God, before we begin to seek and ask for more.Don't ask God to elevate you to a higher level, when you haven't made the best of where you are. Jesus said" seek ye first the kingdom of God,and His righteousness;and all these things shall be added unto you". it dosn't say might be it says shall be.Get in Jesus and you will be in the best position to prosper.

So often we pray and ask God for things that we already have.We ask for strength when all power is in Jesus.We pray for the power to love, when Jesus is the love of God.We pray for a better life,when Jesus is our abundant life promised us by God.We must begin to utilize all that God gave us in Christ, in  Christ God gave us everything as we are heir to all that the Father has,and we have not because we ask not or we ask amiss.Let us delight ourselves in the Lord, and He will give us the desires of our hearts.
