Numbers 14:2 And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this wilderness!


For over 10 years I have called my mom everyday. I love her very much and have lost enough people in my life to know, one day I will not have that connection. We should talk to people we love often and God daily in some form . I use to talk to God only when I needed something. I know what it is like to get a call from someone, only when they need something. You dread it and that kind of call is hurtful. I hurt God many years for making Him my need and not my want. We should look at our lives and see if we only talk to people or God when we need something? God does want us to give our needs to Him but one of the most abused and misunderstood verses is , Luke 11:9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. “

There's nothing wrong with "needing God".

Case in point.

In 1 Samuel 8 the elders of the Hebrews DEMANDED to have a king.

God had been their King up until then, but the people basically said....

...."we don't need God".

They basically rejected one of the few things that made them different from the rest of the societies around them up until that point in time.

Samuel told them everything that would happen with a human king...and it still did not matter.

1 Sam 8

18 And ye shall cry out in that day be-
cause of your king which ye shall have
chosen you; and the LORD will not hear
you in that day.

19 Nevertheless the people refused to
obey the voice of Samuel; and they said,
Nay; but we will have a king over us;


There's a huge difference in "telling God what we need" versus "telling God that we NEED Him".
