have no want

Thursday, April 23, 2009 
Easter Weekday
First Reading:
Psalm:
Gospel:

Acts 5:27-33
Psalm 34:2, 9, 17-20
John 3:31-36

Psalms 34:9  O fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no want!

Why do we want to win the Lottery?  Why do we want to be loved by friends and family?  It seems that almost all the problems that we get into are in some way due to striving for these things.  We feel as though something is missing in our lives and we must do what we can to get it.

God can be and is all those things that we lack.  He is better than winning the lottery.  He can create anything out of nothing.  He is better than a friend.  He will always be there no matter what.  He is better than family.  He loves us more than any person can.

It seems that if we have God we have all the things that we strive for and there is no longer any need to even think about doing what is wrong to get them.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to always remember that you can do everything and that you are always there for me and that you love me more than I can even imagine.

Amen
