Deuteronomy 8: ¹² Lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses and live in them,

¹³ And when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all you have is multiplied,

¹⁴ Then your [minds and] hearts be lifted up and you forget the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,

We’re on our best behavior when we’re standing in faith or believing God for something we need or desire. We pray and read the Bible daily, we attend all the church functions, and we even watch church on TV. We do our best to impress God so that we can receive our blessing.

Once God blesses us, things start to change. Our church attendance drops, we replace our prayer time with pointless conversations on the phone, and church TV is replaced with reality TV. It’s kind of like we got what we want so we’re done sucking up to God.

We continue to live this way until another need or desire enters the picture.

God deserves better than that. When He blesses us with our needs and desires that should be even more reason to praise and worship God. That should be even more reason to do all the things He commands us to do.

I’m guilty of this one myself but, I had to change. Be a consistent Christian; by living your life always wanting to please God. The only change we should do is for the better.

Be Blessed!
