TOPIC: GOD
UNDERSTANDS YOUR NEEDS AND WILL SATISFY THEM.
FRIDAY SEMPTEMBER 8
TEXT: ISAIAH 58:9-12
KEY VERSE: “For I know the thoughts that I think
toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an
expected end.” (Jeremiah 29:11).
God
knows you, for He is your Creator, Father, friend and Saviour. He knows your
needs, situation, difficulty, desires and pains. He feels them along with you. In
His understanding and Fatherly love, He is planning to meet your needs, proffer
solution to them and give you satisfaction. Your duty is to trust Him and wait
for Him. We see this in His provision of a helpmate to Adam.
God
brought animals and birds to Adam to name them. Adam was giving names to them.
Adam noticed that the animals and birds coming to him were in pairs, male and
female. It revealed a need in Adam. He must have started feeling or wishing for
a female partner as he saw in the animals. God must have concurred with Adam
that he needed a female partner. God felt his need with him. He went into
action, unknown to Adam, to meet that need. God committed Himself to satisfying
Adam. He saw it as His responsibility being his Creator. (1) He made him fall
into a deep sleep. (2) He took one of the ribs of Adam. (3) He made a woman
from that rib. (4) He brought her unto Adam.
Adam
saw his need met by God and was joyful and satisfied. He said “This
is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.” His heart's longing had
been satisfied. God is responsible to you as Creator, Savior, Deliverer,
Satisfier. As God thought good on Adam so He is thinking good toward you. As he
satisfied the need of Adam, so He will satisfy your need. He is concerned for your
situation. He has a plan to meet your need. He has committed Himself to the
plan of meeting your need. (1) He will bring about the circumstance that will
work out your own salvation. (2) He will communicate to you the wisdom that
will produce your victory, break-through and progress. (3) He will lead you to
the place that will satisfy your longing heart, where you will find answers to
your prayers. (4) He will send you the person who is God's messenger of
blessing to your life. (5) He will perform the miracle in your life through His
divine power.
Now
you know that God knows your need and feels with you. What you are expected to
do is (1) Pray to God and tell Him all you need. Then give thanks to Him
because He knows them and wants to meet them. (2) Trust Him with all your heart
to meet your needs. Don’t try to help God out by taking any sinful step to meet
your need. (3) Wait for the Lord who is
working for you. He shall soon perform it, bring it to pass, pour the blessing
upon your life, and make you satisfied as Adam. “For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to
give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray
unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when
ye shall search for me with all your heart,” (Jeremiah 29:11-13.)

God cares for His own.

What a friend we have in Jesus.
