Psalm 106:15 (NKJV) 15 And He gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.
Belief without a change of heart brings only trouble to the one proclaiming Christ. The person who claims to know God personally yet does not walk in His counsel will find a confusing set of circumstances await. God will give man what he asks for with consequences. The Psalmist says, "He gave them what they wanted," be careful what you ask for you may not be able to handle what you get. Once the enemy of cravings is fed it wants so much more, and you will not be able to tame the hunger it produces.
Know also that once our desire begins to feed in this world, our desires for God to rule our lives will change as well. Note, first God gives what we ask for, we do not seek His government in the matter (God what do you want for me) instead we demand His "blessings." Second, there is no thought for consequences, the desire for God to give what we need rather than what we want is replaced with the desire for more. A hardness to God develops and we will no longer seek His direction. vs 12-14
What have you asked God for that you need to give back to Him so that He will continue the blessings He planned for you? Put God first again and He may remove the curse!!!
Heavenly Father would you forgive us when we seek what will harm, give us a spirit of discernment that we may stay close and never stray into sinful desires. Father help us to prayerfully ask, is this Gods will for me and will this bring Glory to Him. Amen
