A Journey through Psalm 23 - Part 4 #Deeper

Ps23 describes a journey to spiritual maturity. Join us as we Journey through Psalm 23.

In part 4 we will be dealing with the second part of verse 1, 'I shall not want'.
Isn't it interesting to see that Lack/Want are the first subject to be addresses after Lordship and Shepherding!
And they are possibly the biggest distraction from our walk with God is lack and want.

The wording here is referring to ‘not lacking’. And is not directly linked to covetousness, but it's interesting how ‘lack’ in some ways is kind of the opposite of ‘want’
We battle with either the fear of lack or the drive of ‘want’.

I will be addressing ‘want’ in this part, not the absence of lack, but the presence of want.
If we allow it, doesn’t ‘want/lack’ crowd out almost every other important thing im our lives? God, Family, Community, Rest, quietness…

When last have you consistently had time for your family, and time for yourself. Time to reflect and be quiet!?
Want, and lack, are rooted in ‘unblief’. Unbelief is evil in God’s eyes.

Unbelief will rob you of the Ps 23 journey
