God will gladly receive anything from us that shows our dependence and his all-sufficiency.Ĭhristianity is fundamentally convalescence. It’s a command: “Cast all your anxieties on him” ( 1 Peter 5:7). If I were hungry, I would not tell you for the world and all that is in it is mine” ( Psalm 50:9–12).īut isn’t there something we can give to God that won’t belittle him to the status of beneficiary? He rebukes Israel for bringing him so many sacrifices: “I will accept no bull from your house. What does God want from us? Not what we might expect. “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show his might in behalf of those whose heart is blameless toward him” ( 2 Chronicles 16:9). God is not looking for people to work for him. Neither is the call to Christian service. What is God looking for in the world? Assistants? No. The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show his might in behalf of those whose heart is blameless toward him.
