No Genie Prayers!
By Mark Flippo
Why do people think that God is their personal genie? Can I have more money? Could I have a great sale on shoes? There is a laundry list of things we want. Well of course if God loves me He will give me what I want! Manipulation seems to be the main impulse behind our wants. Shame on anyone that regards our God that way! To many cartoons and movies have given people the wrong way of thinking. He does not have to do one thing for you!
You don't turn Him on and then turn His button off! He is a sovereign God! If He so chooses to supply your need as His child, He can. He will not tolerate any disrespect! Remember He is the creator and we are His lowly creation. He can snuff you out at anytime! Remember to always include in your prayers that if it be in His Will please do it! Never forget your place. Forget your pride before it destroys you!
