God not answered your prayers lately?
Perhaps you and me are like the humbuggers I wrote about last week - just after a quick fix, some cash for our next high, avoiding taking a good hard look at ourselves and our own role in the mess we're in.
We want God to be a kind of free handyman, fixing everything, and fixing it now.
Perhaps God knows we don't really want him, just his stuff. Maybe he doesn't answer our prayers because we're just humbugging. We can understand that right? That's what we do with humbuggers, isn't it?
Or maybe you've offered a 'cash humbugger' a meal, or a ride home to a drunk humbugger. Not what they want, but maybe sometimes what they need.
Maybe God's more like you and me than we care to imagine.
St Paul's Anglican Church meets on Sundays at 9am with kids church. All welcome.
