GETTING ALL YOUR NEEDS MET
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you want to get all your needs met?
Fear the Lord and he will grant all of them
If you expect humans to satisfy your necessities
You will be let down, they won’t think it is necessary.
Humans are restricted unlike God who is limitless
If you revere him, you will experience his faithfulness’/>
He provides for all his people and gives them provision
Why not rely on him for all your needs and wisdom?________________________________________
I think that not everyone have their needs met. In my opinion, I think if our needs are all met, we won’t have much crime, mental illnesses, broken relationships and a corrupted society. Much studies have been made over the hierarchy of our needs and the different needs of the various stages of our life cycle. I had a tough childhood because as I was growing up, people focused more on the basic needs of food, shelter, clothing and maybe education in my country of origin. The emotional, mental and spiritual needs were not something people focused on that time.
The bible says that if we fear the Lord and we are righteous, we will be satisfied because the Lord will meet all our needs. So, why do we expect man to fulfill what only God can?
