I do not know if the hierarchy of the needs of Abraham Maslow is inspired by reading the Bible Psalm 23 or revelation from God. Why am I to say so? Because David had some similarities with David's word when he saw the father's sheep and imagined the posture of a lamb and a god as a shepherd.
Let's compare David of Psalm 23 (Extract from the New International version of the Bible) from Maslow's need hierarchy (Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia).
VERSES / NEEDS
1 The Lord is my shepherd. I do not want it. - Maslow's hierarchical needs are not mentioned
2 He lays me in a green meadow and leads me near quiet water - physiology
3 He will restore my soul. He leads me in the way of justice for his name. - safety
4 Even if I walk in the valley of the valley of death, I will not be afraid of evil. Because you are with me. Your stick and your staff, they will comfort me. - Respect
5 You prepare a table in front of my enemies in front of me. You pour oil on my head with oil. My cup is full. - Self-realization
6 All the days of my life, certainly good and love follow me and I will live in the temple of the Lord forever. - Love / attribution (Maslow is the only person who has unconditional love, not saying that God owned us)
Comparing David's Psalms versus Maslow's necessity's hierarchy, we see that the required God hierarchy is perfect and David can say "I do not want". This expression is not mentioned in Maslow's needs hierarchy.
David later appointed later and poured oil upon God to be the king of Israel, but I could write a much more beautiful song than the Maslow's necessity hierarchy, but it was a shepherd. It also shows that the Bible is always relevant, very complete and perfect.
If we want to be like David, position himself like a lamb of God and welcome him as a shepherd, we are satisfied with God and David says, "I do not want it."
With such a sense of satisfaction, we are weakly encouraged to become the shepherd of those who can not see God's greatness. That is why Jesus told Peter to pray to Jesus. sheep. Jesus told Peter so that he could read it at John 21:17. Third time he said to him, "Simon the son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt. Because Jesus said the third time, "Do you love me? He said," Lord, you know all things; you know I love you . Jesus said, "Feed my sheep (from the NIV Scripture).
After understanding why Jesus asked him to become a shepherd of herd, he became all shepherds and reminded us to eat God's sheep. This is written in Peter's First Letter 5: 2. "Shepherds of a group of gods that are useful to the director, because you are pleased, not you have to do, but for money, but aspiring to serve.
Are you currently in a state of not being happy? I wish the Lord to be your shepherd. The secret to getting it is that you have to start learning and be a shepherd of another person.
Please do as follows.
- Hunger feeds people
- guide people to the right path
- Encourage unfairly treated people
- Respect others in front of many people
- encourage them to experience and enjoy the existence of God
You can be happy if you serve others and become happy.
God bless us.
