Needs Versus Wants

"The Lord instructs us to be content when our basic needs are met. "If we have food and clothing, we will be content" (I Timothy 6:8, NIV). It is important to understand the difference between a need and a want. Needs are the basic necessities of life - food, clothing, and shelter. Wants are anything in excess of needs. God may allow us to have our wants, but He has not promised to provide all of them."*
