When the psalmist sang, "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want," he was not speaking of having everything handed to him on a silver platter.

He was saying He followed God and God met his needs. The Apostle voiced that same God would meet the needs of His children when he penned the epistle to the Philippian saints. There, we read:

But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.

Our attitude toward wealth shold not be "Give me more," but rather, ""Give me only what I need."

Psalm 62:10Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, setnot your heart upon them.

Three muslims from new york bombed the twin towers before bush's war on terrorism killing many innocent people? America we need to repent for all of the innocent blood shed in a war that we had no business being in,and the wealthy need to repent! America needs to repent for our sins and ask God for forgiveness

Also it mentions the 144,000 -tribes- that God had sealed,do you think these tribes needed money? No they had love for one another and had eachothers back, they didn't have all these things we use to drain the love out of life ,if Jesus says the poor will inherit the earth then I would certainly not want to be rich,so many things we have now that just have ruined our way of life and we have gotten so far away from the original message of the gospel

Mark 10:30
But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time,houses, and brethren,and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

Psychological projection was conceptualized by Sigmund Freud in the 1900s as a defense mechanism in which a person unconsciously rejects his or her own unacceptable attributes by ascribing them to objects or persons in the outside world.[SUP][1][/SUP] For example, a person who is rude may accuse other people of being rude.
Although rooted in early developmental stages,[SUP][2][/SUP] and classed by Vaillant as an immature defence,[SUP][3][/SUP] the projection of one's negative qualities onto others on a small scale is nevertheless a common process in everyday life.[SUP][4][/SUP]
