So we are on God’s team, and everybody’s doing their part. We should be successful, right? Except we weren’t.
I whined to God: What are we doing wrong?
God answered me, through a sermon on the radio. I don’t know who was speaking, I don’t remember the Scripture text. I do remember this sentence, God’s answer to my question.
God doesn’t call us to succeed; He calls us to obey. 
Excellent!
