The LORD Is My Shepherd
I Have
All That I Need.
Contentment!
You and I live in a culture where everyday we are bombarded with advertisements
that have one purpose in mind: to make us feel like we need something newer,
shinier, better, and if we don’t get it quickly then we are really missing out
on life. Then they say something crazy like, “You deserve this!” Just go into a
McDonald's restaurant order your food, and tell your young child that they can’t
have a “Happy Meal” and just see what happens! The entire family will be
“Unhappy” unless that kid gets that “Happy Meal”.
Scripture
1 The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.

Smart
phones, now smart watches, laptops then there were tablets, and then there were
laptops that came apart to be either a laptop or a tablet.
Skateboards
then there were hoverboards!
Just
go into a McDonalds restaurant order your food, and tell your young child that
they can’t have a “Happy Meal” and just see what happens! The entire family
will be “Unhappy” unless that kid gets that “Happy Meal”.
It
is so easy to be tricked into living life unhappy and feeling discontented.
The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.
Period. End of story!
Application
The
Lord is my shepherd. I have all that I need.
So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content. I Timothy 6:8
