What does the Bible say about the Lord needing something?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states, 'The Lord hath need of him,' which highlights God's sovereign purpose in needing His creation for His glory.

In Luke 19:29-38, we see the phrase, 'the Lord hath need of him,' regarding a colt that Jesus required for His triumphal entry. This statement appears paradoxical, as it suggests that the Almighty God, who needs nothing, has a need. However, this need emphasizes God's sovereign plan and purpose in using His creation to fulfill prophecy and demonstrate His grace. In this case, the colt symbolizes not just an object, but a representation of how God's grace frees His elect, as He fulfills His will through them.
