Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of Christians who live in a constant state of Christmas?

Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing! (Revelation 5:11, 12 ESV)

Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of Christians who live in a constant state of Christmas?
They go around with their wish list and spend their days telling Santa, oops I mean Jesus, what they want him to bring them.
Now I want to make it clear, I believe that God can and does give miraculous provision, and I have seen him do so in my own live on many occasions.
But what I am talking about are those people who have reduced their faith to a place where it has become, "I want it, I tell God, and He is obligated to give me whatever it is I asked him for."
How does that reconcile with passages like we read here?
Because of what he has done, we read that he is worthy to receive "power, wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing." He is worthy to be honored by us and to have us honor him in these areas.
How did we turn Jesus into a lottery pay out instead of revering Him as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords?
Because we let started letting our flesh control our thinking and we became the center of our universe.
What do I do in his presence?
​Do I crawl into his lap and start reciting our list of things we want, or will I fall to my knees and declare "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!"
