To: Manfred the Wonder Dawg; Talking_Mouse
Wonder Dawg, thank you for your analysis of Talking_Mouse's question. I think you're right in that the Lord doesn't concern Himself too much with what we 'want'.

Remember at the wedding feast at Cana? Mary wanted Jesus to fill the family's need when she told Him, "they have no wine". Jesus' response was pretty clear when He said, "What is that to Me and to you, woman?" (Literal Translation)

Jesus wasn't at this marriage feast to fulfill the family's needs, but that He "...manifested forth his glory".

I believe it's the same with our material needs. As long as we seek first the kingdom of God, all these other things will be added unto us. (Matthew 6:33)

In Christ...Alone!
