Sometimes, hearing all of the stuff God can do for me gets kind of old.
God is worthy of my worship because of who he is. Whether I am happy and confident or whether I am fickle and feel like a mess.
It's comforting to know God cares enough to provide for my lesser needs. But this only points to how good he is. Not how important my needs are.
I'm not interested in hearing how God can make me successful. How he can make me prosperous. How he can make me bold.
God is not my means to an end. He is not my key to success.
I have a relationship with God. What more could I need? What more should I want? What else was I created for? But to grow closer to him and to grow in knowledge of him. And to serve him, not be served by him.
"God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him." -John Piper
Just had to get that off my chest.
