Philippians 4:19 (ESV) says, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." But what are your "needs?" Do you fully appreciate the "need" you have for God's presence in every aspect of your life? There is a place in my heart, my soul, that can only be filled by God. When I try to fill that spot up with another person (yes even a husband or boyfriend), or things, activities or emotions, it just leaves me feeling unfulfilled and unsatisfied. Like eating an apple when what I'm really craving is ice cream.
How about letting God fill you up, letting His peace complete you? Philippians 4:7 (ESV) "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." God's peace is so perfect, filling up what we are lacking. It has the ability to guard our hearts and minds, too. If you are seeking to fill that empty place in your soul with physical things or people, there is the strong possibility that someone or something is going to try to lead you away from God. Don't let that happen! Don't let a person or an activity or interest lead you astray. Stay on that straight and narrow path that leads to God and His perfect peace. And He has promised that His peace will guard your heart and mind.
Can I challenge you to let go of striving after what you think you need and let God's peace fill you up? Let Him show you how much He loves you.
