If we’re honest, we’ve all been tempted to believe we somehow won’t have what we need. Even as we become Christians and trust God with our lives, we often still struggle to turn to Him for every single thing we need in life. This doesn’t just include the basics of life—shelter, food, finances, and the like. No, this includes having all we need for the life God has called us to live. In a spiritual sense, we can be tempted to believe that we have to follow the right plan perfectly to live the godly life available to us. We have to pray the right prayers, choose the right path, serve in the right places, go to the right church, read the right Scriptures, and just generally get it right all the time. If that sounds impossible, it’s because it is!

As Scripture reminds us, this isn’t the plan. The plan is simply to receive the salvation offered to us by Jesus. Then, we can walk forward in the assurance that, because of Jesus, we have all we need to follow and live for God.

Work on memorizing this verse this week. Let the truth of it sink into your heart. Let it serve as your reminder that you have all you need to follow God’s plan for your life.
