God Does Not Need Anything

Meditate. Consider how God has met your needs.

He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn't live in man-made temples, and human hands can't serve his needs—for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need. Acts 17:24-25

The cross is empty.
The tomb is empty.
Believe.
Like the butterfly, you can begin your new life.

In this scripture passage Paul was speaking to non-believers in Athens on his second missionary journey. They were a group of philosophers who were interested in hearing more about his god since they worshipped many gods. He noticed they had an altar to an UNKNOWN GOD, which he described as his God, our God. God is self-sufficient. He doesn’t need anything. Although some might argue that He needs man…to worship Him. He is the creator of everything. He explained about the judgment that would be done by a man (Jesus) who had been raised from the dead. That resurrection concept intrigued some who wanted to hear more and a few even believed at that point. Others sneered. Sneered. That is the same reactions some have today. Some who either have heard for about Jesus the first time or now have an understanding of Jesus’ resurrection, believe. Others still scoff…or sneer.

Where do you stand with the Lord God? How is your relationship with Him? Do you believe; seek more information; or sneer? Each person has to make their own choice, but the time is growing short day by day.

Prayer ~ Lord God, as we see the end approaching…or hear of others prediction that the end is near, give us wisdom to understand Your will and help us to wait patiently for Your return…or for Your call on our lives whether it be to serve You here…or in Heaven. You have certainly supplied every need for us here on Earth. Thank You.

Verse of Salvation ~ And do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30

You will be saved on the day of redemption! What an awesome promise.
