IT'S IN OUR BEST INTEREST
Today's reading: Job 21-24

"Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied: Can a person's actions be of benefit to God? Can even a wise person be helpful to him?" Job 22:1-2 NLT

It's quite true, really.

What God asks of us isn't because He needs anything we can do--it's all in our best interest.

Obedience?

Praise?

Whole-hearted worship?

Love for others and for ourselves?

Forgiveness of those who have hurt us?

How could there be anything a self-sufficient God would ever need from those He has created?

But for the created one, you and I, the benefits far outnumber any effort required in the doing.
