Do you know the verse??
This in itself is not altogether accurate, at least for me, in this life ...don't we all seem to want just about everything.
Who among us could truthfully say, "I shall not want." ???
We want some things more than other things, of course. And we tend to have slight variations on what each of us perhaps want more of.
What I want ...is to list the entire verse, then make a quick point, before moving onto another point that I want to make.
Back to the verse ...if you don't know it, it is the first line in the 23rd Psalm, and I wouldn't want to take it out of context, so here it is: "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want."
Isn't it sort of saying that in certain ways we are like sheep??
We can get into danger at any moment ...and often there is no way we ourselves can do anything to really avoid it. We have to trust the one who seems to know what's going on ...the Shepherd.
In short, what we think we want, we may not really want ...because there is so much we don't know.
