Who Supplies Your Needs?

Psalm 23:1

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.

We live in a society that bombards us with messages designed to make us feel dissatisfied with our state in life. Mass marketing campaigns can fool us into thinking that our wants are really needs. It’s a choice who you want to believe: a fancy marketing firm or the one who died for you and said I’ll supply all your needs. Today, when you see commercials, billboards and other advertisements, just pause, smile and say,  “The Lord is my Shepherd. He supplies all my needs.”
