Do we expect God to express gratitude to us! When we obey God do we expect Him to thank us and reward us? Jesus says this would be absurd.
Jesus said, "Does the Master thank a slave because he does what he has been commanded to do? In the same way, when you have done all that you were commanded, you should say, 'We are good-for-nothing slaves; we've only done our duty.'" Is this the attitude we have?
I often find myself having the attitude of a child (in a bad way). When I do what God commands, I expect Him to thank me and give me some great reward. My motivation is often wrong.
God has given me everything! Gratitude should overflow from my life…not expectation.
God help us all.
