God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
We are His servants, not He ours. He has called us to live lives of loving service and worship, not godlike supremacy. He blesses us, but not always materially. In no way can we “write our own ticket” and expect Him to follow our script – nor should any real believer even desire such a scenario. The life of the Christian is a life spent in pursuit of God's will – not a strategy to get Him to go along with ours. No one who rejects that fundamental truth can genuinely live unto God's glory.
