The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. Psalms 23:1 NLT
I read The Heavenly Man and realized what it meant to live a life knowing that God is all that we need. Brother Yun (The Heavenly Man) went through the most difficult situations. He was thrown into prison 3 times and there he was treated horribly. He was tortured and starved and through it all he still sang praises to God with a joyful heart. He had nothing to hold on to except God. And that was enough. That is how he made it day after day. He fasted food and water for 74 days and survived. He knew that God was al that he needed.
It hit me so hard and I felt ashamed. Ashamed about all the insignificant things I worry about everyday. All the things I thought I needed to survive consumed my thoughts.
It is difficult for the human brain to grasp the concept of needing ONLY God. I am still trying to understand the fullness of that statement. I'm still learning how to depend solely on the Lord. Through reading the Word and spending time with Him I realized that I have become more and more dependent on Him the better I get to Know him.
May the Lord also convince you that He is all that you need and may you receive great peace through that knowledge.
