Divine Needs: Why Your Heart Was Built to Seek God
Key Concept for Today
God has implanted in us a divine need that can only be satisfied by Him. Even though trusting God is the only way to fill the need, life circumstances often push us toward control instead of trust.
Verse of the Day
“God has also planted eternity [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God].”
— Ecclesiastes 3:11
In the Rock House or Motive Transition workbook it says: Our divine needs—assurance, unconditional love, worth—were hard‑wired by God to draw us to Him, not to self‑reliance.
Left to ourselves, we try to soothe the ache: control circumstances, chase approval, buy the next “fix.” These strategies seem helpful but ultimately intensify spiritual deprivation—because no person, possession, or plan can satisfy what only God can fill.
So how do we move from control to trust? By bringing our longings to the Father and knowing His true character. As we trade the mind of the flesh for the mind of the Spirit, peace grows (Romans 8:6). Trust becomes the doorway to the rest our hearts crave.
