The better question should be...
does God "want"?
He has no need of anything...
God is sovereign
He is the Alpha and Omega
He is All in All
He is His own companion
God does not want for anything,
He created all things for His own good will and pleasure
We are the clay
He is the Potter
But now, O Lord, Thou art our Father;
we are the clay, Thou art our Potter;
and we all are the work of Thine hand.
Isaiah 64:8
God does whatsoever He pleases
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing:
and He doeth according to His will in the army of heaven,
and among the inhabitants of the earth:
and none can stay His hand,
or say unto Him,
what doest Thou?
Daniel 4:35
Whatsoever God pleases,
He decrees
Whatsoever He decrees,
comes to pass
He does not need for anyone to come to Him,
to worship Him,
to live for Him,
no!
As God Himself says...
For He saith to Moses,
"I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion"
So then, it is not of him (man) that willeth,
nor of him that runneth,
but of God that sheweth mercy.
Romans 9:15,16
When God calls His sheep,
it is our reasonable duty to serve Him in any way He leads us to
When God calls His sheep,
it is our reasonable duty to serve Him in any way He leads us to
No, God does not want for anything
He created all things for His own good purpose and pleasure,
not because He needed us for anything
God is sovereign and holy...
we are just filthy rags,
unholy creatures,
unholy creatures,
fallen into the deathtrap of sin
It is to God's glory alone,
that He has shown mercy, grace and love to anyone at all,
for none of us deserve His own work of salvation
God alone, indeed, is Sovereign.
May it be the Lord has shown mercy and grace to you!
