Most of us probably realize that God is powerful, right? Why is it then, that we insist on limiting His ability to provide by our own inability to deal with our own insecurities. What, Dave?
Let me clarify.
I want God to meet my needs and I want God to bless me. Only thing is, I don't feel worthy all the time. The times when I do feel worthy, I feel neglected by God and the times that I feel unworthy, I look at what he is giving to other people who are not as deserving as I (in my eyes anyway) and still feel neglected.
The obvious question is this, do I really want God to bless and provide for me because I am performing well? I'd have starved to death a long time ago.
I was just looking at my dog relieving herself in my garden this morning and I made the comment to my daughter, "All that dog does is bark at the neighbors, poop in my yard and shed on my carpet! She does not earn her kibble.".
My God is sufficient to supply all my needs according to the mother load of riches found in Jesus Christ. That word, "sufficient" is very important. Meditate on what that word means and contrast it with the "efficient" God we think we have. He does not just have enough, He has more than enough. Seriously, it's the dog's life for us who eat at the King's table. Not a bad gig.
Don't get me wrong, our relationship with Jesus transforms us from garden trespassing freeloaders into royal priests and heirs of the Kingdom. Is it not good to be God's.
"You are the light of the world." -Jesus Christ

If it does not edify, I will rectify by deletifying.
