sarah laughs in god's face. moses refuses the prophetic call. jeremiah refuses the prophetic call. elijah tries to kill himself to refuse the prophetic call. jonah tries to kill himself to refuse the prophetic call. psalmist 88 tries to kill himself to refuse the prophetic call. saul goes right ahead and does kill himself. jacob sees god in the wilderness and tackles him. noah tells god he's a liar. micaiah ben imlah makes god a liar. if scripture has anything to say about the god-us relationship, it's that he doesn't fight fair, and so we shouldn't, either

First strengthen my soul, and prepare it, O Jesus, my supreme Good, and then ordain the means whereby I may do something for You. No one could bear to receive so much and pay nothing in return. Cost what it may, O Lord, I pray You not to let me appear before You so empty-handed, since a man’s reward must be proportionate to his works. Here is my life; here is my honour; here is my will; I have given them all to You; I am Yours; do with me what You will.

“If I owned the whole world I would turn it all into joyfulness; I would not say to the poor, ‘Be ye warmed, and be ye clothed,’ without giving them wherewithal to do it.”
