Some people have the idea that walking in tune with
God means that He will always require them to do
without the things they desire—that they can never
expect anything good from Him. But this is not true.
God’s mercy extends to the things we want as well
as to our personal needs. He longs to give us more
than we could wish for ourselves.

Our ability to ask God for things is not as great as what
He yearns to give us. He wants to provide abundance
so that we can have plenty for ourselves and plenty
to share with others. It is His desire that we align
ourselves spiritually with Him, so He can use us as
channels to bless others. God knows that prosperity will
ruin the one who trusts in his own thinking.

The fool will squander what God has given him on his
own lusts and forget that God was the One who gave him
power to receive it. So God is waiting for us to get our minds
and wills lined up with the mind and will of the Spirit.
When our desires match His, He can give to us without
having it hurt us.

James 1:4 expresses the will of God concerning us. It
says, “But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may
be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” It is His desire that
we experience no lack in receiving the things we desire.
And Psalm 23 reflects this same thought. Verse one says,
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
