Needs and Wants

In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most beloved and cherished psalms in the Bible—Psalm 23. Known for its rich promises of God’s provision, this psalm reveals the comfort, restoration, and care that our Shepherd provides for us, guiding us through life’s darkest valleys and leading us to eternal peace.

Today, we reflect on God's incredible provision, from the rest He offers to the safety and victory He promises. But as we focus on trusting God for our needs, we explore a key obstacle that can prevent us from fully embracing His provision—confusing our wants with our true needs.

Through a heartwarming story of a young girl named Sheila, we explore how easy it is to mistake desires for necessities, both as children and as adults. In a world filled with excess, we often fail to recognize the difference between what we truly need and what we merely want. From phones and streaming services to material comforts, many of us struggle to differentiate between our wants and God’s provision for our lives.

Yet, as we reflect on Scripture, we find that God promises to meet our daily needs, not our every desire. Psalm 37:4 reminds us that when we delight ourselves in the Lord, He transforms our desires to align with His will, showing us what is truly important and helping us to trust that He will provide for all that we need.

Join us as we explore how to embrace God’s provision, find contentment in what He provides, and allow Him to reshape our desires. Learn how to rest in the assurance that, with the Lord as our Shepherd, we truly lack nothing.

Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that will challenge your perspective on God’s provision and encourage you to align your heart with His will.
