WE NEED HIM

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.  Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever.  Amen.”

Philippians 4:19,20 KJV

Rev. William Charles Poole wrote one of my favorite hymns about Jesus “Just When I Need Him Most”.  “Just when I need Him, Jesus is strong, Bearing my burdens all the day long; For all my sorrow giving a song, Just when I need Him most.”  O how I need Jesus!  I need Him every minute of every day.

I have been going through a dark valley in my life for two weeks and just when I decide I’m going to bed and stay there for a while, Jesus gives me a song.  It is so true that what you take in is what you give out.  I listen to gospel music from the time I get up until the time I go to bed at night and that inspires me.

It’s nice to have a close loving family and loving friends but our family and friends can’t put a song in our heart and pick us up and carry us through dark valleys like our precious Saviour.  Not only does Jesus save us from our sins, He also puts a song in our heart and never leaves us, not even for a minute.

Someone said “I don’t need anything or anyone”.  That is not a true statement.  Everybody needs Jesus even if they won’t admit it.  If I didn’t know that Jesus is my Saviour, my best Friend and never leaves me, I would have no desire to get out of bed.  What a privilege to serve the KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS!

Heavenly Father, I pray for every person who has not said yes to Jesus.  May today be the day they invite Him into their heart.  There are people who are hurting today.  Please comfort and encourage them as only You can.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
