The Resting Place of Need

Why do you rise up in the morning and work all day? What are you hungry for? What are you looking for? Why are you in the ministry? Why do you do what you do?

Why is it that you are not completely fulfilled in this very moment? Chances are that even if your entire want and need list were to be filled right now, you still would not be satisfied. This is because what you really want is God. The things we want are actually a distraction to what we really want – God. You think you want a bigger house, but what you really want is God. You think you want to get another promotion, but what you really want is God. You think you need more money, but what you really want is God. You think you want a larger ministry, but what your soul hungers for is God Himself.

Why do we want so much? I am always amazed at how many things I desire when I walk into a store. I go in for a bottle of milk, but I end up with a cartful of other things I just can’t live without. Why are we so needy? Because God made us that way. He put a need for intimate communion and unbroken fellowship with Him inside of us and that need will be filled with nothing else.

You want and strive because you have not found a resting place for your need. Don’t spend the next 20 years of your life working for something that will never fill your soul’s hunger. Fill your soul with God. To learn more, listen to the free MP3 series “The Resting Place of Need” by Larue Adkinson.

Within the heart of mankind there is a need that has been divinely fashioned by the Master Architect of Heaven. This series explores the depths of this need and identifies the only platform in which it can come to rest.

Grace and Peace to you,

Sade
