We dishonor God when we love the gifts more than the Giver. But we also dishonor him when we forget all the gifts he has given. Well, there’s never a shortage of questions about our delight in God in relation to the gifts he gives us. It was only two months into the life of this podcast we addressed the question “How do I know if I love the gifts more than the Giver?” That was APJ 55. We’re back on the theme exactly eight years later with a related question from a listener named Robert in Fairbanks, Alaska. “Hello, Pastor John. I’ve heard you talk about the importance of loving God more than the gifts that God gives us. I believe the spirit of that statement is certainly true. But it doesn’t explain everything I see in the Bible. Particularly, how does this square with Psalms 103:1 Chapter 103 1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, `bless' his holy name. –5, which seems to suggest that we love God more because of the benefits? Can we diminish God’s glory by being too unconcerned with inventorying the gifts he has given us?” Read or listen to this interview at our website: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/do-we-dishonor-god-by-neglecting-his-gifts Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes: https://www.desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
