We don’t consciously and deliberately disobey God - we simply don’t listen to Him. God has given His commands to us, but we pay no attention to them...
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

in a very real sense not one of us is qualified, but it seems that God continually chooses the most unqualified to do his work, to bear his glory. if we are qualified, we tend to think that we have done the job ourselves. if we are forced to accept our evident lack of qualification, then there's no danger that we will confuse God's work with our own, or God's glory with our own. ~l'engle
to add to lil christian's and siberian khatru's point:
sometimes i think God allows us to battle with with infirmity and difficulty to remind us that we are all subject to imperfection and weakness, and to value the resources we are entrusted with. back when i felt like i was practically invincible, God used very well placed events as if to say, young one, you are enjoying the benefit of blessed circumstances and anything could change on a dime.
