God doesn't need me but...

This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer and Creator: “I am the Lord, who made all things. I alone stretched out the heavens. Who was with me when I made the earth? ~ Isaiah 44:24 (NLT)

The God who made the whole world and everything in it is the Lord of the land and the sky. He does not live in temples built by human hands. This God is the One who gives life, breath, and everything else to people. He does not need any help from them; he has everything he needs. ~ Isaiah 17:24-25 (NCV)

KEY IDEA:
Since God is the creator of all if he needs anything he just creates it. So we shouldn't think of ourselves as doing favors for God.
PRAYER:
Creator God, you are beyond need. I find that knowledge reassuring -- even though sometimes I think I'm doing you a favor when I'm generous or act according to your will. Adjust my thinking and my attitude. You don't need me. Yet you embrace me anyway. Your generosity is amazing. Amen.
