Day 23 - I Need_______

"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 4:19

Thought for the Day:  Temptation is an invitation to meet my needs outside the will of God.

Today's reading in the Made to Crave Devotional is another one of those day where I just want to type the whole thing out for you!  However I won't do that but I will share some points that Lysa made.

• Satan is a liar, who encourages us to fill ourselves with distorted desires...which only results in us filling emptier.
• God's provision sustains life.  
• Satan's temptation drains life.
• God's provision in the short term will reap blessings in the long term.
• Satan's temptation in the short term will reap heartache in the long term.
• God's provision satisfies the soul.
• Satan's temptation gratifies the flesh.

Today's prayer:

Dear Lord, I am reminded once again of how dangerous temptations are, because they invite me to meet my needs outside of Your will.  Keep me from compromising and from justifying today.  I know that only Your provision sustains life and satisfies my soul.  I want this truth to ring loud and clear throughout my day today.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
