Maturing in Christ 2

Psalm 23 says that, as our shepherd, Jesus gives us all that we need and some of us feel that He disappoints us in that area

That He doesn't give us all things

But ....... it's because we don't see the difference between what we "want" and what we "need"

Many of us want money, success, material things etc

But Jesus knows that what we "need" is peace, joy, love relationships

The immature people are like children who want many things that are not good or helpful for them

But mature people know the things that are needful and seek those things in life

And Jesus is the shepherd who gives us what we need

So that the mature people are thankful

But immature people are disappointed and wanting more

How do you see yourself in that way?

Are you mature knowing what you need and finding it in Jesus
Or are you mature and "want" many things that are the desire of the flesh?
