When you ask God to help you whats most importent on the list . Is it things you want or things you need . Do you ever just ask him to come into your heart and fill you with the Holy Spirit . God gives us everything we have its up to him to decide what we need . Oh theres a lot of you who will say why does he let people suffer why are there so many poor people who go without food and clothes and shelter . Its because he put us in a place where we are to care for others . If you see someone in need you as a child of God are to help in any way you can . Seek first God in all things and he will guide you to your destiny . I pray today for our country we are on a downward spiral and falling fast the farther we get from God the worse things get . Turn back to him and pray for him to come to you and change your life help others find their way to him and change this country and the world I ask this in Jesus name , Amen ;Receiving the Good Things in Life From God’s perspective, the good things in life are those that fit into His individualized purpose and plan for us. What good things have you gained by seeking Him first? Read | Psalm 34:8-10 Two conflicting opinions about material wealth exist among believers. One says that to be truly spiritual, a Christian must keep few worldly goods. Proponents of the opposite idea think that prosperity is a sign of God’s favor and, therefore, a desired possession can be claimed by faith. Bewildered, many followers of Jesus wonder, Which of the two is the correct approach? But neither answer gives the full picture. A hindrance to answering the question is our common view of what constitutes “good things”; usually these are defined as items and experiences that make us feel happy. From God’s perspective, however, the good things in life are those that fit into His individualized purpose and plan for us. His will could include prosperity, robust health, talents, and opportunities. But more than likely, the Lord’s plan involves some periods of trouble and need, and He considers those times valuable too. When our vision of what is truly good clears, we are ready to understand how to receive God’s blessings. The key to receiv- ing life’s good things is to seek the Lord Himself rather than just the treasures He has to give. We often approach God with an empty basket rather than an open heart; we tell Him what we need and wait for the bin to be filled. But an open heart says, “God, I just want more of You.” According to Psalm 34:8, God is good, and James 1:17 says that He is the source of “every good and perfect gift.” Giving blessings from His storehouse is in God’s nature, but He wants His children to seek Him above all else.
