Are You Focusing On What You Want From God or What God Wants From You?

What is it that you want God to do for you?   Do you want Him to heal you?  Do you want Him to strengthen you?  Do you want Him to deliver you?   Whatever it is, God can do it.   Now the question is, what is it that you are doing for God?   Are you listening to Him?   Are you waiting on Him?   Are you obeying Him?   

So often in life we concentrate on what we want God to do for us and we don’t focus on how we are living our lives for God.    We want our best life now but are we living our lives as best we can for God?   Take time to think about God.   Ask yourself what you can do for Him and know that He will take care of you.   Focus in on pleasing Him instead of focusing in on what He can do to please you.   The Bible says that God knows the things we have need of and He is faithful and just to provide us with those things.    


Don’t misunderstand.  God said for us to come to Him and to ask of Him.   He wants us to seek Him and to trust Him for whatever it is that we need in life but He also wants us to honor Him and to obey Him.   So as we are seeking Him, let’s also obey Him and represent Him well.   We have to understand if we focus on what God wants He will take care of the things we need and want as long as they are in line with His will for our lives.
