Needs verses wants..

I Kings 3: 11-12 KJV
And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee

Thinking only of our immediate wants make us ask God for things that areunnecessary, rather than asking Him for things that we truly need.  If your heart desires man made things then you must know that those things have a short life span and they were created to serve man’s purpose rather than God’s. Don’t get me wrong we do have tangibles and we do use them however that shouldn’t make us put our whole heartson them or even worship them

Some people see themselves as worthlesswithout money and cars and what is even worse is that there are people who thinkthey cannot live without certain worldly possessionswhich is not true. God is our creator and our provider that is why we should seek firs His kingdom in order for us to receive His blessings. Jesus said “I give unto you: not as the world giveth” because God gives to us according to His will. (Luke 12: 29-31. So remember “what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and loses his soul”.
