God Knows Just What I Need

Topics to Dig Into

Who is He?

What is God like? Who is this man Jesus? How can we understand the Holy Spirit?

The Visible God

God is present and active in our lives, often working through people and ‘coincidences’. Thank and praise Him!

Making it Practical

Following Jesus in today’s world can be challenging. But living according to Jesus’ teaching is incredibly worthwhile. Call it life-changing.

He Knows You

God’s love is unconditional. He knows our hearts and continually invites us into relationship.

Ah-Ha!

Learning about the culture and language of Bible times can reveal new meaning in familiar scriptures. Let’s call them ah-ha moments.

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and
carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28 (NLT)

I read this familiar verse bright and early this morning. Bible Gateway’s Verse of the Day is always one of the first things I read. I confess, I gave it little thought other than “yup, I
recognize that”. It didn’t grab me at the time.

As I sit before my computer tonight asking God for a message to post, I come back to Jesus’ words. It’s been a sad and busy day. My father’s wife passed away today. She had been on life support since Christmas Eve. A brain scan showed significant damage so the decision was made to remove support.

Come to me, you who carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.

There He goes again, knowing what’s best for me. This verse was the perfect reminder I needed to rest in Him.

Could you share a time God provided just what you needed?
