Are we brazen enough to think that we can command regarding His promises, or to tell Him to do the things we want Him to do? Are we like insolent children who don’t ask but attempt to demand their fathers to do this, or to give them that? The God of all creation, and more, is not ours to order about, but to obey. His promises are just that… HIS promises. The love that God shows us is not an obligation but a gift, and more than that… it is to be returned in kind. We are meant to ask so that we should receive, and to love just as we are loved. Are we approaching God in this manner? Are we humble, and filled with awe in His presence? Or, are we insolent, and demanding like spoiled children? Do we approach him as the almighty I Am that He is, and do we acknowledge His Holiness?
