It’s interesting how we sometimes try to manipulate blessings out of God.
Sometimes intentionally.
Sometimes intentionally.
Think about it. When we…
Make promises in our prayers…
Fast, but with our own selfish, personal agenda…
Isaiah 58:3 (NKJV)
‘Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and You have not seen?
Why have we afflicted our souls, and You take no notice?’
“In fact, in the day of your fast you find pleasure…”
Give only so we can be blessed…
Go to church as if God owes us something for going…
Serve to be seen or only to be rewarded for our service.
Even when we do all of the ‘spiritual’ things God told us to do.
God knows our hearts…
He knows the true motivation of why we do what we do…
James 4:3 (NKJV)
3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.
This may not be you, and if not…great.
But, if it is remember that we can’t trick or manipulate God into blessing us.
And, the beautiful thing is that we don’t have to.
