Taking God for Granted

I have always thought humans are cheap cause we take things for granted ever so easily. What we have in abundant we take for granted. What we have all the time we take for granted is going to stay. We take everything for granted but I have come to a realization that there is someone that everyone takes for granted and yet He still loves us all the same. Ironically thats the reason why we take Him for granted.

I have felt like I was taken for granted at times. Having to serve when called upon or to even sacrifice as and when called upon. I was looking to the Lord for comfort while traveling on the bus when the Lord impressed upon me that isn't that how we've been treating Him. Alright alright, its how I have been treating Him. When I have the company of people or loved ones, He takes 2nd place. I don't regularly seek Him especially not when I'm having fun or when I'm taking pleasure in satisfying my flesh.

I was upset over how I was only called upon when there's trouble or problems and I was reminded that haven't I treated Him that way. Why do we take His grace for granted? Why do we take what He have done on the cross for us for granted? Of all things how could we? Yet do not all man kind do? And I can almost guarantee I will continue to do so though less deliberately.

Doubts fill us and the flesh is weak. Sometimes our faith is just not strong enough and we fail. But then can we in all this failure learn to seek Him and make a more conscientious effort to have a continual conversation and to build on our relationship with Him? I guess ultimately He knows we will always fail but it is our hearts He is searching after and when one man turns back and praise God, did not the word of God says the Heaven rejoices? Rejoice then for I am turning back to Praise God in my circumstances. =)

Dear Father Lord, even as I reflect about my suffering or the suffering of loved ones, let me turn to you and remember that You watched your Son suffer. What can be compared to what He suffered? We may never stop asking where were You when bad things happen but ultimately we trust you have a reason. We trust you have a plan. We trust that you are sovereign. We try to trust. Lord help us in our unbelief and help us in our weakness. I pray that you will impress upon my heart the importance of securing my life in you that I might come to understand better. Let me trust in your character! HELP ME LORD!!!
