There are many types of needs:
money,
jobs,
information concerning what to do,
encouragement in following God
Regardless of our need, God is our supply and source when we belong to HIM.

The king of Sodom offered to bless Abraham, but Abraham declined and said:
I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: (Gen. 14:22-23)
Abraham purposed in his heart that he wanted his provision to come from God and not from man.
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Deut:28:1-2 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all HIS commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
Like Abraham, Moses refused the blessings that man could give to him and chose God for HIS source.
Hebrews 11:24-27 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing HIM who is invisible.
We are greatly blessed when we choose to make God our source, HIM who is invisible, rather than making man our source on this earth.
