Supplies II.
…continued… from part 1
James 4:2-3 (NIV)
“You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.”
There is how to ask for things and your motives should be right. When Hannah asked for a child, she received because the motive was not to spite those who have mocked her but to represent it back to God for use. Sarah got her request too and she said God has made her laugh so everyone would laugh with her. God was the factor in the two cases. You might be asking and wondering why you haven’t received yet then you need to ask yourself if God is the end product of your asking. A lot ask just to spite, to consume it on their pleasure and to feel fulfilled and not to give Glory to God. God is a jealous God and He said His Glory He won’t share with any man:
Isaiah 42:8 (NIV)
"I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.”
If God is not in the equation then there can’t be a solution to it.
Isaiah 65:24 (NIV)
“Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.”
Before you call, God knows but to see your motive and for you to know it came from God so He can take the Glory, He asked you to ask Him so you will know from where it came from. He will never share His Glory with any man of any idol for that matter.
