The biggest human temptation is to settle for too little. – T. Merton
God’s prophet Elisha was angered because Jehoash was willing to settle for minor victories over his enemies when God was ready to completely destroy them. Wow!
When we actually sit down and look at all the facts, the only difference between us and the great ones of the faith that we admire, is desire. Not economics, education, geography, or race – just desire. The desire to ask ‘big’ things of God, things only God could do, and then earnestly desire and entreat Him to do them. If we’re asking God to ‘enlarge our territory,’ the least we could do is point out the ground, and prepare for a harvest.
Until Monday…..
Pastor Botts
“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever Amen.” – Ephesians 3:20-21
