We, as human beings, always wish God to treat us as babies when in difficulty and as youngsters for the rest of the time. While the truth is that God treats us neither as helpless babies nor as carefree youngsters. He walks along with us, mature adults, grown up persons well endowed with grace and growth. So while we wish that He carries us in His bosom, He gives us strength and points out the direction to tread on our own 'God-given' feet. We expect Him to wash away our sins and make us 'as white as snow' but He gives us opportunities to have our sins forgiven. God does not do things for us or instead of us, for in doing so He would be insulting Himself. After all it is He who created us in 'his own image and likeness'. Why should He belittle Himself when He has already blessed us with all things necessary to fight and win the battle. All that He joyfully does is accompany us, empower us.... not spoon-feed or babysit us!
