"If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land." -II Chronicles 7:14 (AMP)
My family recently went to see the newest version of the "Jungle Book" movie. In the movie, Baloo the bear sings his famous song, "The Bare Necessities", which got me thinking. What are the bare necessities that we need in life?
There are many things that we think we need, but there are not many things that we truly need. For our earthly bodies to survive, we need food, water, air, and shelter. However, this list neglects one thing. We also need God. God is the source of our emotional, spiritual, and physical being. To be truly satisfied, truly forgiven, and prepared for a meaningful and eternal life, we need God. He is not a luxury. We should make seeking Him our number one necessity!
When considering the bare necessities, be sure that God is at the top of the list!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and forgiving me. Help me to always keep You at the top of my list of necessities. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
