the way God derives pleasure and fulfillment in the life of a man (streamlining it to believers now) is not the way most of us think. Biblically, historically & experientially on personal basis and through the observation and study of other people's life, I have realised that most times God takes the man through paths that man doesn't desire, wish for or pray for but not prepared for and capable of going through. The process(es ) most times is very painful, ego stinging, humanly humiliating, etc but in it God derives pleasure and satisfaction. He derives pleasure that no amount of prayer, worship songs, tithes or what soever can give Him. We are having a breed of believers today who are self centered. It must always be about them, things must always go their own way in the expense of God, His agenda and the person's generation. Thanks for sharing
