Pt.3 why

Finally to sum up the study of James 4:1-4 we have this verse.

James 4:3 "You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions."

So far we have talked about how our passions can interfere with our spirt and cause pain to us eventhough the decision was right. Also, we have covered asking God for stuff. So, here we have the problem, and we ask God to fix it or help us through it or whatever, and thats all there is to it. Wrong. The verse up top says that we can ask wrongly of God.

People, this will be short and sweet. If your not asking for something to glorify God, give God the praise, to spread his word, or draw close to him; it doesnt cut it. So, basically, its not what you are asking for(sometimes it is), its why you are asking for it. Check yourself. Pray. Love God.
