Are You Saying What You Think You Deserve or Are You Giving God What He Deserves?

We are so quick to say what we want and what we feel we deserve in life.   What about what God deserves?   What about the glory He deserves?   What about the worship and the praise He deserves?    Are you giving God what He deserves or are you trying to take it for yourself.   

God is our Father.  He is the source of our Strength.   He is our Waymaker and He is our Peace.   God is our Healer and he is our Deliverer.   He is everything we need whenever we need it.   The question is, are we acknowledging Him for who He is and are we giving Him thanks for what He has done and is doing in our lives?

We have to stop looking at our lives in the aspect of what it is we think we need and want.   We have to learn how to be givers and not just takers.    A taker is always looking for someone to give them something, whereas, a giver is always looking to give what they have.   


We have to get to the place where we are not just asking God to give and to do for us.   We have to learn how to give to God.   We have to give Him the glory and the praise.   We have to give Him the fruit of our lips.   We have to give out of our resources to Him while remembering that He is the "source" of our resources.   We have to give Him our lives entirely and we have to stop holding in reserve the parts of our lives that we want to try to maintain control over.  

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 

Psalm 29:1-2

King James Version (KJV)

Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength.  Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
