I have noticed something lately...
And it bothers me, so I thought I'd toss it out there!
People say "Grace" before dinner, and they often pray....
And what I've noticed is they always ask for things for THEMSELVES! I'm guilty of asking for discernment, guidance, strength and protection myself... But our job is to SERVE HIM! Not the other way around!
The Most High is not there like a DJ, to take request! Really big things, I can see asking for help... But we should be asking Him to "Use my hands to do YOUR WILL" and things like this!
He has already given us EVERYTHING! This earth, our life, and protection from the Evil ones! I guess my point is that I hate to hear people "pray" like they are at the drive-up window at McDonald's or at the mall on (Satan's) Santa's lap.
Remember that MAN is fallen, and we have some serving to do! Most are not really "feeling" what is expected of us, and it's more than asking for a new bike and a raise at work!
And it bothers me, so I thought I'd toss it out there!
