How many people call out to God when they're in a crisis? They call out in a need, then when the crisis subsides, never give God a second thought. How many Christians live their lives this way?
If you only involve God in the desperate situations, and don't involve Him with the everyday stuff, then you're missing the point. You see, we're designed to do this life WITH God, not without Him. Prov 3 v 6 says
In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
God isn't meant to be a silent partner in our lives. A silent partner is an "individual whose involvement in a partnership is limited to providing capital to the business. A silent partner is seldom involved in the partnership's daily operations and does not generally participate in management meetings."
This isn't how God intended to be in our lives, there for investment purposes only. He wants to be involved in every step of our lives, every day.
In Hebrews, we are assured He will never leave us, He is always with us. We need to stop treating God like a silent partner, involving Him only when we need bailing out of a crisis and carrying on with "business as usual" for the rest of our lives.
Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]
Hebrews 13 v 5
