What We Need
Recently I was walking through Khan Al-Khalili, the famous and crowded bazaar in Cairo, Egypt. On every hand, someone tries to sell you something by assuring you that they have the best product at the best price. As I passed one of the vendors he shouted out, “I don’t know what you are looking for, but I have what you need.”
It made me think of the multitudes of people in this world who are searching for something to satisfy the needs of their souls, but don’t really know what they are looking for or what they really need.
However, the Bible tells us what it is we need, and God has it available to everyone who comes to Him in true faith and repentance. That need is the need for salvation, and it is only through the Lord Jesus and the work of Calvary. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
There is only One who can fill and satisfy the soul, and that is God Himself. “For He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness” (Psalm 107:9).
