When a child constantly nags their parents for something it becomes a nuisance, especially when that child is doing nothing in return to warrant a reward or gift. I look at our relationship with Yahweh in that same manner. We are quick to go to the Father always asking for something, yet we are doing nothing in return. Are we praying? I mean really praying without the entire prayer being a list of requisitions. Are we seeking Him? For a relationship and getting to know Him on an intimate level. Are we fasting? Sacrificing to show our longing to be closer to Him. Are we thanking Him? Are we grateful for the things we do have but too often take for granted? Are we worshipping Him? Giving Him praise, honor, glory, love and obedience just because of who He is. What are we giving Him in order that He may reward us for our works? Ask yourself these questions before going before the Father to complain or beg. Let us thank Him for His grace and mercy. Let us be more obedient to His words. Let us not behave as spoiled little children, but obedient ones that deserve His mercy and then maybe in His goodness He will reward us with what He desires for us in His due season.
