Milking God

Is God taken advantage of? Is that even possible? Let's think about it: God is always there, He offers his help when we need it, it is impossible for Him to do anything "wrong"...so I guess it's not. There are really only two things about Him we can use to our advantage. Here they are:


1) Using his name. We can twist the holy name by using it as just another word in our dictionaries. Well, let's just say that He's made it clear He don't like that too much. We can use the title "Christian" to let others view us a certain way, however that may be.

2) This one is the one that counts. We can take advantage of God because He is always there. Since He is always by our side and willing to help, well, why would we reasonably ignore Him in our times of distress? All He asks is our repentance and cooperation, so any other reasoning to ignore our God is folly. Take advantage of God "while you can", not because He only gives you one chance or a certain amount of time to choose, but because we only have one life to live, and who knows how long that will be?

--P.S. Stop milking God to get what you want, take what He's got and you won't need milk ever again!
--P.P.S. Recall what Paul said in 1 Cor. 3:21 "I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready."
