Occasionally, it occurs to the believer that God does SO MANY things (both requests prayed for and those which were unasked) that the believer wonders “Why?”
“Why does God do so many things (both large and small) for me? It is NOT necessary for Him to do all of that.”
As usual, God’s Word supplies a few answers.
1- God favors the believer CONSTANTLY because He can; that is, He is ABLE TO DO THEM.
“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”
–Matthew 19:26
“For with God nothing shall be impossible.”
–Luke 1:37
“Is any thing too hard for the LORD?”
–Genesis 18:14
2- God CONSTANTLY favors the believer because it is His nature to be merciful to those who believe.
“The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.”
–Psalm 34:10
“My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.”
–Proverbs 3:11-12
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
–Isaiah 40:31
“The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.”
–Psalm 34:15
3- God CONSTANTLY favors the believer because He LOVES the believer and delights in the believers’s joy.
“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”
–Psalm 37:4
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
–1PETER 5:7
“But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.”
–Psalm 16:3
“Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”
–Psalm 55:22
“They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.”
–Proverbs 11:20
These are just a FEW of the reasons the LORD CONSTANTLY does things (both great and small; both prayed-for and those things which went unasked–for the LORD knows our minds better than we do) for believers.
DOES the reader believe that believers are deluded when they say the ‘Lord CONSTANTLY does things for me’?
It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
—1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
