Looking for others to meet your needs?

Often when a man and woman get married, they assume that the other will some day meet all their needs.  It soon becomes clear that this analogy will probably not happen.

So, why do we fall into the trap of depending on other people to meet our needs when we have the Creator of the Universe ready and available to meet all our needs?

We're fallen humans is the answer to the above question. 

God knows what we need and He is always faithful in His promises.  But, it is also based on whether the need we're asking for is according to His Will.  This is where some Christians get discouraged.  They think that since God is God, He will meet all my needs and give me whatever I ask.

Be careful my friends.  God is God and He will supply our every need, ONLY according to His Will for our lives.

Don't look for your spouse to meet your needs.  Rely on God!

Philippians 4:19 – "And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
