Knock a typical American down and what happens?
- Feels self pity and whines.
- Says “Where was God?”
- Sues somebody.

How true, sad, but true. We are obsessed with self, self pity, and feeling entitled to everything. Instead of living to glorify God, we glorify self and have this little petty view of God (and very incorrect might I add) thinking his highest end is to make us happy and give us whatever we think we deserve. And get mad when everything doesn’t go how we want it.
