Philippians 4:19 But my God shall SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEED according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Psalm 23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
A teacher was trying to drive home the importance of expanding the vocabulary. She said that if you repeat a word ten times it will be yours forever. A young coed in the back of the class was heard saying over and over, "Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike..."
She obviously wanted Mike to be hers forever. I don't know if she ever got Mike or not but I wonder if she had would she have been happy with what she got. There are many times we think of so many things that we want. We think if we just had this or if we just had that we would be happy. I can speak from experience in saying that getting what we want does not always make us happy.
It is sometimes like the dog who caught the skunk. He got what he wanted but he sure didn't want what he got.
I think we would all be better off if we would just pray "Not my will, but thy will be done." It is then that we get what we need.
