Two guys walk into a bar and the bartender asks them what they’d like. The first one says, “I’d just like a nice tall glass of H2O.” The second guy says, “That sounds good. I’ll have some H2O, too.” The first guy downs his glass with an “Ah, that hit the spot!” The second guy does the same and doesn’t say anything. He’s dead.
He got what he asked for, but should have been more careful as to how he expressed it. Does the Bible address such states of confusion? Glad you asked.
James 4:2
You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.
Aren’t you glad God sometimes denies our request, for it could have deadly results. By the way, H₂O₂ is the chemical name for hydrogen peroxide. Give it some thought and consider what you’re asking for.
