Many people are content with just knowing someone is available, they are not too concerned about building a life with them.
Why?
Because their lives are all about self, we are nothing more than a security blanket when things get rough. They want the blanket to be there waiting, but have no interest in it when all is well.
So many people treat God this same way! They want Him ready and available when they have a need or something is too big for them to fix, but everyday when things are going their own way, they are happy, in need of nothing they have no interest in God.
They ignore God, even act angry at the mention of His principles. But when disaster strikes, they are the first ones to use "god speak" and run to Him.
Human relationships are like this too. Sadly we pay attention to people because they have something to offer us but have no interest in their wisdom or desires. Even mocking them when they don't meet with our expectations.
God is mocked every day in our culture. Every time believers defend their sin, resist counsel or ignore His love letter, the Bible, to us, we are demeaning Him, often even mocking his principles which is the same as mocking Him.
Galatians 6:6-10 "Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor. Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers."
