Not a Band-Aid
In the past couple days, I have been giving thought to the fact that so many people treat God like an extra, or a five-step program, or a Band-Aid. He is the magic bottle they keep in their pockets when life gets hard. Most seem to like the idea of God, but they want Him to keep their distance for the most part. He can mind His own business and let them live their own lives.
The idea of surrendering wholly, completely to the Maker of the Universe is terrifying. And if a body wants to live their life ignoring God, or picking Him up once in awhile, that is their own choice.
Why some people chose do that, I do not understand. At the end of the day I suppose it boils down to the fact that God is God. He calls some to Himself and not others. Either way, everyone's life will glorify God, whether or not they intended it to.
