As a pastor I'm often saddened when people have expectations of God, but expect Him to have no expectation of them. He's no short order cook, this is not Burger King, no you can not have it your way. It's His way and there is an order to His Kingdom.
Often people expect God to work a miracle and then allow them to go on about their business. But when you call on God you are calling on all existence. You are calling on Time and asking that He stop and take notice, it's not to be taken lightly. You have to do your part. You have to take care of His business, as He takes care of yours. If you won't show up for God, know that He did not fail you when He doesn't show up in the place you have summoned Him. His perceived absence IS your answer.
Let's all take a look at our spiritual life road maps. How far have you traveled? How long have you been on the road? How many mountains and valleys have you conquered? Where are you headed? And most importantly Who is your travel companion???
God is faithful to His children. We need to make sure that despite what is going on in our lives that we are and remain faithful to Him.
God Bless U
