Who needs health or wealth?

David probably said it best;

"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever." (Psalm 23) kjv

We complain a lot about everything. Face it, it's true. Money, family, health, opportunity, looks or home, we've all wished for something to be different. Most of these wishes likely fall into the classification of "covet," as in "Thou shalt not..."

Everything we are (and have) is a gift from God. What counts is what we do with these things we were given, not how much we complain about feeling we've been short-changed. Give God credit for His endless blessings, He didn't have to give it to you.

Father, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.

Amen!
