There truly seem to be things we need. Income, transportation, shelter, food, opportunities to meet with others and communicate.
Then there are those things I think I need. Coffee, quiet, respect.
Along with these perceived needs, I find the need for new tires, new mattress, favorite cuisines, family and friends to respond to my requests for fellowship.
But in reality, there is only One thing I need...and Mary, Martha's sister demonstrated this need and practice...to sit at the feet of Jesus.
Suffering and illnesses come upon us, yet He is the healer. Storms threaten and even crash on our shores, yet He speaks a word and calms them. Death occurs, yet He is the resurrection power and new life begins again.
I am certain I will perceive a need again that is not necessarily needed...and I pray I will remember and turn to Him again and again to allay that feeling.
