God knows what you need. That is a truth that we should remind ourselves of daily. The King of kings knows your every need! What a comfort it is to know this. His ways are higher and He knows better. We may have a list of wants, but our God is wise. Sometimes in the waiting for what we want, we find that we receive what we need instead.
Shyju Mathew Teaches On The Wisdom of God
Revive Nations is led by Prophets Shyju and Tiny Mathew. Based in Canada and India, Revive Nations has reached multitudes in over 100 cities in about 24 nations with the love of Jesus and the power of the Gospel.
Shyju spoke a message about how God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. He spoke about how God knows what you need. Sometimes what God does looks foolish, but it’s in His wisdom that He gives us what we need.

He used the example of Jesus coming to the world as a baby.
“And now this baby is going to grow up, and He’s going to be the Savior of the world. Foolishness. And the Bible says, it was that foolishness that caused them to crucify Christ. It was a setup.”
God Knows What You Need
What if a child got everything he or she wanted? Wow! That could result in that child becoming sick, or overtired, or even in danger. A good parent will give a child what he or she needs instead. There are times to give a child what they want, but it takes a wise parent to discern what is best.
God is a good Father! He knows what you need.
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change” (James 1:17).
God has an eternal perspective. He has a good plan for our lives. We may think we know what we need, but He can see every angle and every outcome. His ways are better!
“Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!” (Matthew 7:9-11).

Application
When you’re struggling to trust that your needs will be met, remember that God sees ahead and He is not afraid. He loves you and will provide for you. You are valuable!
“Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” (Matthew 6:26).
Ask the Holy Spirit to help you solve the problem you’re facing. Ask Him for help in how to pray. Oftentimes we try to work things our on our own, but maybe He is sending the answer in a way you’d never thought possible. You just never know how God might surprise you!
Don’t be afraid to ask! You are His child! You are seated with Christ in heavenly places (See Ephesians 2:6)
Prayer
Father, I surrender to your ways. Thank you that you will give me what I need. I lay down my list of wants and I ask for wisdom. You are so good to me and I want to learn to trust you more. I ask for wisdom and insight, and that I will seek your kingdom and your righteousness. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
