God Is Not a Day Job

God Is Not A Day Job
God does not owe me anything. He is not in debt to me. I’ve found that that’s the way I’ve been treating Him. I’ve been treating Him like He’s an hourly wage job, like he’s a payroll clerk that left a bunch of hours off my check. But how can I put Him in the same category as my day job? With a job you get what you earn, because your labor puts your job in debt to you until payday. If your paycheck is short you have the right to find out why, because they didn't pay you what you earned. But we can’t earn anything that God gives us- it's all a gift. And God’s gifts don’t have a regulated pay period like a job does. He gives what He wants, when He wants, according to His will. He knows when we can’t handle a blessing and when He needs to withhold it until we can. He also knows when to instantly let you have what you want. He knows. God is not a day job, He’s God.
