The Lord is my Shepherd, I will not want...

How many times do I long for things I don not have? I will mourn the missing item in my life. Who says I am lacking? The LORD is my caretaker, the King of Kings. I will not want. The generous provider meets my need, gives me comfort and safety. The great I Am gives abundantly so I may also live a generous life. Why do I fell want? The other night I ate dinner and had a sufficient amount of food on my plate only when I was finished I still wanted more! I took more jjust for the pleasure of eating. How many times do we take more than we need just for the pleasure of having? What are the consequences of enduldging in this kind of pleasure? Today I am convicted that this endulgence reienforces my wanting to exceed what Christ offers. This leads to discontentment, worry, fear and in some practical ways disease. In this moment I see how my over eating on a regular is intergrated into my spiritual life. If I could give thanks for what has been give and not seek to go beyond what I need that would bring peace. Jesus thank you for caring for me. Forgive me for taking more than I need. Where do you take more than God provides?
