In continuing my little rant on people viewing God as a blessing dispenser, I think the problem is when we ask God for things that we want more than God. It's okay to ask for things, and He wants us to ask Him for all our needs, but if we want those things more than we want to know God, more than we want to seek God, then there's a problem.
“You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways.” - Daniel 5:23
This is materialism…worshipping gods of wealth, fame, success. And yet, we ignore the God who holds in his hands our LIVES. Forgive me for being distracted by anything other than you, the God of the universe, who created me and has a wonderful plan for my life. Forgive me for thinking that I know better.
