Many people who when in trouble , they come in droves to be at church , diligent worship , prayer and following every activity of any event held at the church . They assume that in that way they will get the answers to the problems they face .

God is never indebted to everyone who came to him . He will give an answer to every prayer and our struggle . But most people just forget to glorify God when they escape from the problems they face .

God's Promise For People Who Worshipping

1 Timothy 4:7-10

" Training corporal limited use, but worship is useful in all cases , because it contains a promise , both for this life or for the life to come . " ( Verse 8 )

The Bible says that we will receive the promises of God when we worship Him diligently . And we need to realize and believe that what God promised in His word will be fulfilled.
