"His Voice Today"
August 16
🔸️ God wants us to pray to Him, for our worldly needs too! 🔸️
Lord Jesus didn't feel ashamed when he was found asleep! Further, many times He was thirsty and hungry. Without hesitation, He admitted that He had them all. Because He was never ashamed of His physical needs. In order to correct the misconceptions that people had about the Lord, Jesus gave importance of physical needs in the last three petitions in the Lord's Prayer!!
"Give us the food we need today." In this petition, we could see the whole Earthly needs containing. Within this petition, "Father, give me a job; give me a house to live in; give me and my family clothes to wear; give my children a good education.... because they too must one day get their daily food!" all such applications are included. If we seek first the kingdom of God, the Lord would surely provide for us with all these Earthly needs!
Do you know why we care so much about food, clothing, work, home, and our children's education? Because, in the depths of our hearts, it is our misconception that God is not interested in helping such worldly causes. We also have the thought that God cares only for our spiritual benefits!
How wonderful it would be, if the Holy Spirit gives us the impression that our good God cares about every part of our spirit, soul, and body! God also wants us to apply to Him for our Earthly needs. Because he never wants us to worry. That is why the Holy Bible says, "Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let your petitions be made known to God" (Phil.4:6).
Prayer:
Our loving Father! You graciously having care about our physical needs! So we can gladly apply to You, our physical needs! Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
