The Need For God
The Need For God
There is a basic need that exists in all mankind. There is a need that transcends even the most basic ones of food, water shelter and security. There is a need that exists where without it, all human faculties would be challenged to test survival in its absence. This is a need that everyone, everywhere has. The need is universal and everlasting.
We all need God.
From the beginning of civilization to modern day, man has always prided himself in being self-sufficient. He thinks that he doesn’t need anything. He is independent, he is intelligent, wise, strong and able to accomplish anything he sets out to do.
Even when Adam found himself in the Garden of Eden without covering, he merely offered God excuses. He didn’t ask for help. He didn’t ask for direction. He didn’t ask for solutions. He didn’t think he needed God. Why? Because he thought he had all of the answers.
Unfortunately, many think they have all of the answers and God is not needed or is necessary in their lives. But, we do need God. We all do. We all need God in our lives to direct us, guide and protect us. We all need God to intervene and show us what to do.
Without God, our lives would be directionless, obscure and chaotic. We wouldn’t know what to do and what choices to make. God is an all-wise, all-knowing entity and so it goes that He knows the beginning to the end. Since I don’t know the beginning or the ending, I need God to show me and guide me.
Since He’s been God for so long, I think I’ll trust what He’s doing and lean not to my own understanding.
Won’t you join me?
