Instead, we are servants

God's plan and will for His people was to live in 'the land that You gave to our fathers, to eat its fruit and enjoy its bounty.' Instead, because of sin and disobedience they cried, 'Here we are, servants today! Here we are, servants in it.' Neh. 9:36

Just as today, many times we live below our privileges and do not enjoy the blessings that are God's will for us. We think our will is better, to our sorrow.
