Needs vs. Wants




This morning as I think about the day I feel overwhelmed. I'm without a washer and a dryer, there's a mess downstairs and insurance people to deal with. There's school to start, therapies to go to, meals to make, work tonite. I want to crawl back in bed. But instead I will praise God for meeting my needs and giving me the strength to go forward.

Every trial I face is allowed by God for my ultimate good. In part, that good includes my ability to discern the difference between needs and wants. Today if I endure, God promises to give me what I need. Tomorrow, in heaven, He promises to give me everything I could ever want and more.

Thank you Lord for this day.
