We must trust God to meet our needs, and as we trust, we must be able distinguish between what is a need, and what is a desire. Many times small children want many a thing they do not need. It is the wisdom of the parent which supplies the needs of the child. The same is true of us, God’s children – we often want things which would bring injury to our lives. God does not promise here that He will supply all our desires or wishes, but He promises that He will supply, and fulfill all our needs. Some may read these words and think they need new pretty toys for their lives and pray for frivolous items while others seek God in earnest for guidance; for strength against temptation, for happiness in a marriage, or the need for employment. Sadly, many people still make this foolish exchange with desires for needs, surrendering spiritual wealth, while seeking financial fatness. If we seek God in earnest with our hearts and minds stayed on Him we can be encouraged, and comforted that our God will supply all our needs.
