I Shall Not Want
from First Presbyterian Church of San Anselmo · host The Rev. Dr. Joanne Whitt
Psalm 23; 1 John 3:16-24: "I shall not want" doesn't mean we'll have no desires. It means God provides all we need. God provides enough to sustain all life on the planet. The problem is not supply, but distribution. If we trust that "the Lord is our shepherd," as the psalmist proclaims, rather than greed or consumerism, we will trust that there is enough to share, enough to go around, as well as to protect our planet from the destruction that rampant consumerism causes.
