Numbers 18:20  And the LORD said to Aaron, “You priests will receive no allotment of land or share of property among the people of Israel. I am your share and your allotment.”
(NLT)

Psalm 23:1 
The LORD is my shepherd; 
I have all that I need. (NLT)

—

When you have God, you have everything. 

With the words of his mouth and the work of his hands, he created all that is. He formed, shaped, and spoke everything into being. 

He preserved a family through a flood in a boat full of animals and birds. 

He led former slaves through the sea on dry ground. 

He provided miracle bread every morning and water from rocks in the wilderness during the forty years of journeys.

He stopped the flow of a river at flood stage and brought his people through the river bed on dry ground. 

He saved, delivered, and healed. 

Chapter after chapter, book by book, God performed his wonders and marvels.

Jesus healed men and women. He raised men from the dead. He conquered death forever. 

You have never faced a moment or a need too big for God.

You will never face a moment or a need too big for God. 

God said, “I’m all you need.”

King David agreed. “The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need.”

What’s the secret sauce that activates all of God’s goodness? Jesus makes it clear in John 15: “Remain in me, and I will remain in you,” (verse 4). 

The open secret to a full and meaningful life is an ever-deepening, continually abiding walk with God. It is daily dependence and moment-by-moment trust. It is knowing and experiencing him in all things. 

There’s a really good chance you have not mastered this lifestyle yet. Today’s another day to help you along the way. Pray in trust as you begin the day. Start in trust. Continue in trust. Finish in trust. Pray in trust as you review the day. Observe over days, weeks, months, and years how God proves true to his promise, nature, and character. 

Learn to say with David, “The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need.”

I will trust God as my source, resource, provider, and savior.

Our Father, you provide what I need when I need it. You always have. You always will. I want to know you more in an ever-deeper and abiding relationship. I want to experience you in my thoughts and feelings, my work and my leisure, my kinships and friendships. Amen.
