God is looking for a faith in Him that just takes for granted His provision for “all these things” –the same essential stuff that everybody chases after. He is looking for a faith that diligently seeks Him—never questioning His desire or His ability to bless us with “all these things.” When we seek the kingdom of God, we seek the presence of God. We no longer need to seek after “all these things” because our focus is on “every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (see Matthew 4:4). God's kind of prosperity flows out of our relationship with Him. God's kind of prosperity is not limited to money, but is rich in all the resources we need—from peace to property.

Why in the world would I want something to happen in my life that God didn't want to happen? And why wouldn't I want what God wants, instead? I am becoming more and more convinced that it is foolish to ask God for something—anything—that He doesn't want for our lives. In other words, the question should shift from: “God, will You please agree with me in this situation and give me what I want?” to “God, will You please show me what You want in this situation so that I can agree with You?” Sadly, too many of us would respond with, “What's the point of a relationship with God if I can't get “my” prayers answered?” But such a faith in God, presented as a way of getting “my” prayers answered, is a mutant form of faith that is not at all reliable.

Please consider how much our understanding of faith would change if we began to think of faith as the means to get what God wants for us, and not what we want for ourselves. When we believe that we have the innate ability to decide what is right for us and for others, we start down a road of misguided faith. When we pursue what we want without any accountability to God, we head off in a direction that is not in our best interest. When we have no accountability to God, but just do what we think is best, then stupid stuff happens. I know this runs contrary to the way Christianity is presented today, at least here in the United States. But just consider the Biblical evidence—when people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes, as recorded in Judges chapters 17 and 21
A song that will draw you closer to the heart of God. That you “may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height – to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” – Ephesians 3:18-19
This store clerk couldn't help but notice something was wrong with a mother and her baby at the register. When the mother got a far off look in her eyes, the clerk's motherly instinct kicked and she grabbed the infant. Seconds later, the mother had a seizure and medical professionals were called. Thank the Lord for this lady's quick thinking!
