God loves every human being and is willing to bless everybody. But, your behavior indicates your level of respect for God. If you are rebellious or live out an evil ethic, you cannot pretend to have a good relationship with God. God is morally defined. Not everything goes. Praying is not only to ask God to do something, it is also submitting our life to Him. Theology and ethic cannot and should not be separated. When your theology and your ethic don’t coincide it is called hypocrisy, and it is not healthy.
God can’t stand evil scheming,
but he puts words of grace and beauty on display.
27 A greedy and grasping person destroys community;
those who refuse to exploit live and let live.
28 Prayerful answers come from God-loyal people;
the wicked are sewers of abuse.
29 God keeps his distance from the wicked;
he closely attends to the prayers of God-loyal people.
(Prov.15:26-29 MSG)
Prayer: I know you can’t stand evil in my life. I render my life to You, I want to be loyal to You, the only One deserving it. Help me to be open and honest in every step of my life. Remind me of your wisdom and counsel to build my life upon a good foundation. Let me honor You in the way I live.
