We want a lot of things such as good food, different kinds of drinks to drink, clothes to wear for different occasions, jewelry to wear, a place to live, and cars to drive. We need things to survive such as food, water, clothes, and shelter. There is a difference between wanting something and needing something. We want, lots of things. We do not necessary have to have them to survive, it is just nice to have different things. We even think we want something, but we really do not need it. We even, pray to the LORD, so that the things that we want will be granted unto us. But then, when we do not get what we want, we get mad at God for withholding our prayer request! The Bible tells us in Philippians 4:19, “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” Today, remember God is bigger than any situation. God knows what you really need so if your prayer goes unanswered maybe in the long run it is for the best. It is something to ponder. God Bless. Amen.
