Are We Needy In God?

Why would we feel improvised in God?  He has unlimited resources, and tells us throughout the Bible to ask and receive. 

There are many verses on receiving from God, here are a few:
​
Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you...”
Matthew 21:22 “If you believe, you will receive…”
Luke 11:9   “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given you…”
John 16:24 “Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive…”

What do you want today?  Is it to be more conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ?  Do we want our will brought into perfect conformity to the will of God?  Do we want our desires to be on heavenly things?  Our Heavenly Father will give freely – 2 Corinthians 9:9-11.  Let’s ask these things of God. Let’s ask as Solomon did, he asked for wisdom. 

​God’s wisdom is pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. – James 3:7.  This wisdom will guide our hearts, and direct our ways.  If we embrace the LORD’s ways we will be blessed and receive favor from Him.    Jesus is standing before us today, saying, “Ask what I shall give thee:” in Him dwells all the resources of wisdom and knowledge, and everyone that asks receives.
