"No, you can't always get what you want,
No, you can't always get what you want,
But if you try sometimes, you just might find
You get what you need."
The problem, however, is that we so often get confused between what is a want and what is a need. And what is it that we truly need. Sarah Young in her devotional for this morning writes, "Your deepest, most constant need is for Jesus' Peace."
As I've reflected on that thought this morning, I must say that it rings true for my life. It is what we need above all else, yet it's so easy to lose sight of this constant need... we stop 'trying' to find God's peace, searching for Him every morning to be filled and awakened and renewed.
But instead of searching after what we need, we spend so much time searching after what we want - and fool ourselves into thinking are 'needs'. After all, we could trust that we have a God who provides for all our needs, and instead seek after Him.
19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. (Phillipians 4:19)
Today I seek what I really need, my deepest most constant need - Jesus' peace.
