How it must vex our Creator to listen to our concerns and worries when He has already made every provision for our success! How foolish for creatures to lecture their Creator on their strengths and weaknesses! God never overestimates our capacity to serve Him. He never asks us to do something that is impossible for us to accomplish with His provision. God never overlooks important details or extraneous circumstances. He is never caught by surprise.
God knows what is at stake, however, if we do not obey Him. God understands how many people are toiling in bondage while we debate with Him about whether or not He has called the right person to do the job. God hears the cries of people desperate for deliverance while He must convince His own people to trust and obey Him.
We are God’s servants; He is not ours. God does not focus on how He can grant us a good day and make us happy. God is seeking to redeem millions of people who are presently toiling in spiritual bondage. God generally has more challenges getting His own people to respond in obedience to Him than He does having unbelievers accept Him once they have clearly heard the Gospel message. Throughout Scripture it was God’s people who were reluctant to believe Him. Despite all God had done and promised; His people still refused to trust Him.
Our problem is that we are far more afraid of people than we are of God. Because we fear what people may do or say to us, we will endlessly argue and debate with God with no thought of what our delay and unwillingness to obey will cost us, or others. When God looks at your present obedience to His commands, is He pleased and honored by your response?
