Why Us?

An omnipotent, or infinitely powerful, being presumably has the ability to satisfy all its wants instantly. Yet God-Our Lord asks us to pray our sins to Him, but doesn't that mean He isn't all knowing? God-Our Savior asks for us to sing our praises to Him and Him alone, but does that mean that He needs our worship? God allowed sin to come into our lives so that we may have the choice between Him and an eternity of damnation, but does that mean that God-The Master needs our decision? Indeed, why would a complete being even create mankind? I can't think of any good reasons, can you?

To bring this to a better context, throughout history, all rulers from every nation had a need for glory which they recieved by distancing themselves from their subjects. It makes giving orders easier and less worry for any kind of revolt. But, what need has God for glory? Does God revel in self-admiration or His ego require our approval? If you still are holding up your God flag, check out Isaiah 6:1-3:

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory."

But does God really ask it for His sake? Think about it. What happens when we pray? Who are we focused on? Ourselves or God? What happens when we sing praises, do we just sing or does the Holy Spirit sweep through? When you help out a person, does it just help them or do you feel a reviving in your own soul?

This idea of a egoistic-glory driven God is something that Satan is using to trap you in your walk. Searching deep in your heart, you will know that this is true. For those of you that still doubt, spend time in prayer and see what happens. God wants you to choose Him, wants to be your friend, wants to have a relationship with Him. Not because He needs it. He has people praising Him, but it really is for you. God is just waiting to tell the world, "this is my son in whom I Am well pleased." (Matthew 3:17)
