• True needs produce when filled

  My yard thanks to God for the rain and fertilizer is turning thick and a beautiful dark green. There is a couple spots that has turned brown and very thin, the spots in which I spilt the fertilizer. The right amount of fertilizer for what the grass needs enhances its beauty, but too much brings its death.

  In my garden I have pepper plants planted next to my egg plants. Recently I was at a cousin’s house who allowed me to load up on some natural fertilizer he has in pasture. To some it would be called sheep manure, for the garden it is called fertilizer. I spread heavily the manure in my garden, my egg plants started growing and mass producing, but my pepper plants started wilting and slowed down producing. The egg plants need more fertilizer and the pepper plants need less is what I learnt.

  I gave thought upon how the fertilizer had its effects, and what I could learn from it. This is what I believe the Spirit showed me.

  God supplies our true needs, the more we truly need the more he supplies. The problem is our wants create unnecessary (false) needs which are not true needs.

  If God would supply our false needs it would actually cause us to be tempted into following the life style which creates the false needs in the first place. God will not lead us into temptation, and those that are not faithful in the least more just makes them more unfaithful.

  An example I have is this, spend your finances foolishly and then expect God to supply you with your rent because it is a need, it won’t happen. God knows that if he supplies your rent then that would allow you to further spend foolishly.

  My pepper plants produced less when given more, but my eggplants produced more when given more, wisdom tells us which will receive more and which will receive less.
