I realized something today. My needs are being met. Today at dinner time I realized that there has never been a day when we didn’t have something to eat (there was a time in my life when that could have been a real possibility). There has never been a moment when we didn’t have a place to put our heads to rest that was safe and secure. In every moment God has met the need. I realized another thing today. I have an incorrect understanding of having my needs met. I think (in my humanness) that having my needs met means I won’t face trouble, trials or circumstances that can leave me feeling uncomfortable. No, having my needs met, means that in those moments, in the times when the need is ever present and very real it is there that God will meet me. Nowhere in the bible does it say Christ will tie our problems up in a pretty bow and toss them into the ocean. But it does promise that He will meet us at the point of our need and He will walk through it with us.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze” (Isaiah 43:2).

So what’s the plan today? Walk through it all with God.
