Are you going to God, asking of God, and obeying God? A lot of times people go to God and they tell Him what they need but they don't choose to obey God. We have to know that obedience is a key factor in receiving from God. He wants us to honor Him by honoring His Word. However, there are many that want God to overlook their disobedience and bless them in-spite of their sin.
One question we should ask ourselves is, should disobedience be rewarded? If your child or children deliberately disobeys the instructions you have given them, do you still reward them? We should not be expecting God to reward our disobedience. Keep in mind, there is a difference when you have knowledge and know what to do and yet choose not to do it.
God is a good God. He is merciful, loving, kind, and forgiving but that does not mean we should take advantage of His mercy, love, kindness, and forgiveness. It doesn't mean we should sin just because we know we are forgiven. If God wanted us to live freely in sin, He would not have told us to sin not. He would not have told us to be holy as He is holy. He would not have told us to repent.
We have to learn how to live our lives according to God Word and know that His blessings are connected to our obedience.
