Psalm 23:1
Overview...
1. We have been created to want .
2. However, we can go too far and be consumed by wants .
Matthew 6:29b-34
3. The difference between a non-believer and a believer is not that one wants and the other doesn’t. It is that one is totally focused on their wants and the other is focused on God .
Psalms 23:1 NLT; Psalms 84:11 TEV
4.Main Point: The key to meeting your needs is not to pursue on your needs, but to pursue God.
Psalms 42:1, 2; Isaiah 53:6
Why we need Jesus to be our Shepherd...
1. We are corrupted when we want our wants more than God.
Mark 8:36-37
2. We need something greater than ourselves to find true satisfaction in life.
Mark 8:34, 35; Psalms 42:1, 2
