The Lord Jesus wants us to trust Him as Savior and live for Him. Knowing the Lord Jesus and investing our lives in things that are eternal brings peace and joy into our lives.

We fail to realize that all the things of this earth will some day be burned to ashes. The only things that will last are the things we have done for the Lord. Earthly things will satisfy us for awhile, but things of God will last forever.

We were created for God’s pleasure. If we seek to follow Him and realize we were created for His pleasure, then pleasing Him will bring to us our greatest pleasure. We please God as we place our faith in Him.

We may own many things in this life and still not be satisfied. Satisfaction comes from a relationship with Jesus Christ.

God gave us His only begotten Son. He will also freely give us all things that we need. Christ said as we seek Him, we can trust Him to give us all that we need.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” Revelation 4:11

We can trust God to supply our needs.
