You Can Do Things For God Without Being With Him | Relationship Over Resolutions (Part 2)

RELATIONSHIP OVER RESOLUTIONS — PART 2
Doing for God vs Being With God

In Part 2 of the Relationship Over Resolutions series, we address a sobering Kingdom truth:

👉 You can do many things for God without actually being with God.

This episode exposes how faith subtly shifts from abiding to achieving, from presence to performance, and from relationship to responsibility — all while still looking faithful.

Jesus never invited us to impress Him.
He invited us to walk with Him.

🔎 What This Episode Reveals:

• Why leaning on our own understanding replaces walking with God
• The Martha vs. Mary moment — activity vs. intimacy
• Doing things for Jesus vs. being with Jesus
• Why gifting, effectiveness, and impact don’t equal relationship
• How prayer becomes transactional when presence is missing
• Why alignment always comes before asking

📖 Scriptures Referenced:

Proverbs 3:5–6 — Trusting God vs managing outcomes
Luke 10:41–42 — Presence over productivity
Matthew 7:22–23 — Works without relationship
James 4:2–3 — Asking without alignment
Jeremiah 29:13 — Seeking Him, not just answers

👑 Kingdom Takeaway:

Jesus didn’t correct Martha’s work.
He corrected what she was missing.

✨ Being with Jesus is greater than doing for Jesus
✨ Relationship first, results second
✨ Abiding produces fruit — striving produces burnout

✍️ Reflection Prompts:

• Am I walking with God or working for God?
• Where has performance replaced presence in my faith?
• If God asked me to slow down instead of succeed, would I trust Him?

🙏 Simple Prayer:

“God, teach me to walk with You, not work for You.
Remove performance from my faith.
Restore presence to my prayers.
I choose relationship over results.
Amen.”

🔥 Truth to Carry:
Unanswered prayer is often an invitation — not a denial.
An invitation back to withness before outcomes.

👑 Kingdom Sound Bites (Copy/Paste Worthy):
• God did not save you to use you. He saved you to walk with you.
• You don’t follow Jesus by working harder — you follow Him by staying closer.
• Relationship births fruit. Performance only produces exhaustion.
