Need – Good – Gift
Three of most Christians’ favorite memory verses are: Matthew
6:33; Romans 8:28; James 1:17.
Matthew 6:33 “Seek you first The Kingdom of GOD and His
Righteousness and all these things (needs) will be added to you.”
Most skip 6:34 “Do not worry about tomorrow, tomorrow will
take care of itself, each day had its own issues”
Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things (that intersect our
life) work together for Good to those who Love GOD and are The Called According
to His Purpose.”
Most skip 8:27, 29-30 “Now He Who searches the hearts knows
the what mind of The SPIRIT is, because He makes intercession for the Saints
According to The Will of GOD…For whom He foreknew, He also Predestined to be
Conformed to the Image of His Son (Philippians 3:8-10), that He might be The First
Born among many Brethren. Moreover whom He Predestined, these He also Called;
whom He Called, these He also Justified; and whom He Justified, these He also
Glorified.”
James 1:17 “Every Good Gift and Perfect Gift is from Above,
and comes down from The Father of Lights, with Whom there is no variation or
shadow of turning.”
Most skip 16, 18”Do not be deceived my beloved Brethren…Of
His Own Will He brought us forth by The
Word of Truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.”
We have needs, wants and desires: needs are the things that
keep us alive, air to breath, food and water to sustain our bodies, purpose to
satisfy our desire to Please GOD. Wants and desires are not needs and we can
live without them, it just feels like we have to have them to be happy and
successful.
In Matthew 6:32 JESUS said, “For after all these things
(Matthew 6:25-31) the Gentiles (non-believers) seek. For your Heavenly Father
knows that you need all these things.” That’s why verses 33-34 apply to our
life. “Let go and Let GOD” or “Do not worry GOD supplies all our need”
(Philippians 4:19)!
James tells us that every Good Gift comes for GOD, when we do
a Good Deed we are sharing GOD’s Perfect Gift with others. Even unbelievers do
this when they do a good deed toward someone else. We, as Born Again Believes
in JESUS are Firstfruits of GOD’s Eternal Creation when we share His Perfect
Gift with others; it has the Power to change lives (Romans 1:16-18).
Romans 8:27-30 is the fact that GOD has a plan for each of
our lives (Psalm 139:13-18) and if we endure the process of life by trusting in
GOD everything in our life (no matter how bad or good) He will Work according
to His Purpose for our life. That is The Need and The Good together; it is The
Gift of GOD to all who believe and live according to JESUS’ Commandments (John
8:31-32; 14:15-18, 23-24).
