Bread alone,no thanks. [ Philippians 3 v 8-14 ]

We all have our  want list,we want our children to do well, our marriage to be happy ever after,consider what you want,and of course there is nothing essentially wrong with many of the things we want,there might be,but there may not be. It is in Philippians 4 v19 the apostle writes about God supplying our needs,now ask yourself ,what do you think you need,I mean really need.Consider what our Saviour said to satan when he was hungry,and the devil had challenged Him to turn stones into bread./Man shall not live by bread alone,but by every word of God[ Luke 4v4].What a ridculous thing to say or so it would appear,Jesus had not eaten for 40 days and nights,surely here was a way to get something to eat,but no, Jesus did not take that route,for he wanted us to know that our want list or our need list,must never be allowed to affect our most important need, our relationship with Him.Our need of God and an ongoing relationship with Him is the most vital  think in our lives,and when we loose sight of that,then we are living by bread alone,and that would be disastrous.
A   prayer...../Dear God let nothing distort our vision,as to what we really need in Jesus name Amen/
