God Owes Me Nothing

Scripture: Romans 11:35 “Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay him?”

Observation: What I have given God is nothing but headache and pain and if He desired to repay me for that I wouldn’t be able to bear it. The few things that I do to honor God is nothing in comparison for what He has done for me. I am a creation of God and just by that definition I belong to Him and owe Him everything. He has created me for His good pleasure and not the other way around. If I spent the rest of my life, every waking hour giving to God it would never make a dent of what I owe Him.

Application: Even though I can never repay God for all He has done that should never stop me from trying. My life is His and I know what He desires and so often I just ignore His will in my life and it’s time to pay careful attention to what He is calling me to do. These are not recommendations from my Lord but commands that need to be followed through with and it’s time that I’m obedient.

Prayer: My Lord, creator and father show me the way. Open my heart to what pleases you. I owe you everything and yet you demand so little from me. I want to spend the rest of my life trying to repay a debt that can’t be repaid. May I please you with whatever time I have left here. I love you Father, draw me near.
