"Needing To Be Cared For"

"But I am poor and needy; yet the LORD thinketh upon me: Thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God." (Psalms 40:17) "Seek", although meaning to long after, it also speaks of more present needs; much like our need for the air that we breath, in order to stay alive, because without air we die. We need to seek after God, because without God in our lives, we are toast; no, we are going to get toasted, is more like it; because if God is not guiding our lives, then we are being led by our own lusts and the devils influences upon this world. Hell was not created for man, hell was created for the devil and all those that follow him; if we are not following Jesus, then we are following the devil, simple as that. Therefore, when it comes to seeking God for help and deliverance, it's really not about needing to get this bill paid, or needing to be cured from some kind of sickness, it's about needing help making it through this life and into heaven; because the gate is really wide that leads to destruction, and many are going through that gate; but narrow is the gate that leads to eternal life, and few will find it (Matthew 7:13-14). I believe this passage of Scripture has more to do about hearing what you want to hear, and letting your heart settle for good enough; what that actually means, is that we sometimes settle for half-truths when it comes to turning our lives over to the Lord; it is kind of like accepting the notion in our hearts, that we can have our cake and eat it too; and the sad thing is, that there are churches out there where we can find that message taught. Every day must be a song of deliverance and a prayer for help, all at the same time; we rejoice in that we have been delivered, but we cry out for help in gaining the prize. Although what Jesus did on the cross made the battle won and done, we still need to hold onto Jesus for what He has done... "All things are delivered unto Me of My Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him. Come unto Me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light." (Matthew 11:27-30)
