Reading – Psalm 23

Highlight Verse:

“The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I want a new iPad.

I’d like a newer car.

I’d love to have a little more money in savings… okay, a lot more.

If only my body would work and feel like it did in my twenties – and I had the free time to do the things I used to be able to do.

But…

I have all that I need!

In fact, I have far more than I need.

I’m blessed with a loving family.

I live in a house with plenty of room and a roof that keeps off the rain and windows and doors that keep out the heat and cold.

This old body can still walk and run – just a little slower nowadays.

I have a Heavenly Father who loves me, a church that is alive, and an eternal home under construction in heaven.

I have rest when I need it and energy when I don’t.

And, in the middle of the whirlwind of my life, I have peace that passes all understanding.

What is the difference between want and need for you?
Has God filled all those needs for you?
