What an often scary truth!! I can beg and beg the Lord for something and get what I "want" but then lose the what I had!! Reminds me of the Israelites when they got Saul as king...they got the king like they wanted but lost the leadership of God as their king. <br /><br />Oh, Father, let me not want what I want MORE than I want YOU!<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this truth, Marilyn!marielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14478545338026697454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254277219750790773.post-40826575552981417852010-03-16T10:18:32.860-05:002010-03-16T10:18:32.860-05:00Wow, so many times I read those Bible stories and ...Wow, so many times I read those Bible stories and say "Thank God I'm not like that!"

Thankfully, I walk in truth now and am better about realizing the difference between the two.
