	Description:		Listen to Today's Devotion Perhaps the most amazing response to God’s gift is our reluctance to accept it. We feel better if we earn it. So we create religious hoops and hop through them—making God a trainer, us his pets, and religion a circus. If only, when God smiles and says we’re saved, we’d salute him, thank him, and live like those who’ve received a gift from the commander in chief. We seldom do that, though.

We dizzy ourselves with doctrine, burden ourselves with rules, think that God will smile on our efforts. He doesn’t.
