We all do what we want to do. Including you.
Or does your god control your mind?
You choose to do what you think your God asked of you. You do this because you think it will please him, but why will it please him? Because he needs you to do those things or because he wants the best for you and only gave you such "orders" so taht you be happy?
It's about submitting to his will above all else, even when I don't feel like it. From a Christian perspective, the will of his God is perfect. Not pretty good or even great but perfect. I've resolved to trust his judgement above all else. He promises to give those who submit to him things that nothing else on this Earth can give in living water. He promises to provide all the things we need if we just seek his righteousness (do his will). I believe God can provide with a better life for myself than I could ever provide on my own. You ask why I submit, there's your answer.
Romans 12:1 12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is —his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Matthew 6
31“Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’
32“For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34“So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
John 6:
13Jesus answered, “
Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
