From our first breath to the last, we have few truly essential needs. Without oxygen we will perish within minutes. We must have food and water. Our bodies when exhausted require rest. And in harsh weather we must seek shelter. So while we are needy creatures, our basic needs are few. When it comes to our wants, however, there seems to be no limit. Indeed the entire advertising industry is devoted to expanding our  needs." 

But what about those basic needs we over look? What about our need for Bread of Life and the Living Water of God's truth? What about our needs for Spiritual Fellowship – that gives strength, hope, peace and comfort? The vague satisfaction so many people experience is really spiritual malnutrition and thirst. Have we been ignoring the words of Jesus: "Man shall not live by bread alone ". (Luke 4:4)?

Have we been failing to nourish our souls while pursuing our wants?

Seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you " (Matthew 6:33)

Just as body needs daily food, so does our spirit. We must start today to take care of the Absolute Needs! Philippians 4:19
