Case of the Wants

I have a bad case of the “wants”. I know Psalm 23:1 says:  “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” but somehow that verse hasn’t had an effect on me.

I WANT:

• A condo in downtown DC
• A new car (BMW to be exact)
• A personal chef
• To travel to Turks & Caicos
• A new Louis bag
• Laser hair removal
• A Tiffany bracelet to match my necklace
• A rhinestone iPod case
• To go shopping at Barney’s in New York
• Someone to pay off my student loans
• My own business

And the list goes on, and on. My list of “wants” is very materialistic but not unreasonable or even impossible. I just wonder if I had all these “wants” NOT needs would they really make me happy or would they just fade? Would these things go unnoticed and move into the background like all of the other material posessions that I desperately “wanted” at some stage life? To be perfectly honest probably so….and I would just go on “wanting” the next thing, the next, and the next.  I must ask:

As humans are we ever satisfied?

I don’t have the answer but on my journey towards TOTAL LIFE PROSPERITY I am asking God to take over this area of my life. Lord, Please help me to be like Paul and be content with what you have already given me.

Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content. {Philippians 4:11}
