My husband is preaching a sermon this weekend on "More."
The basic premise is that we should be content with what we have, but never satisfied. We should be happy with God's blessings, but want more. Not for our own selfish purposes, but more for the glory and honor of God's kingdom.
It's a challenging sermon, because it helps us to see that we should, like Elisha, want a double portion of God's Holy Spirit so we can accomplish more for Him.
It's also a time for introspection as God may be giving us more to do right now and in a different way than we have ever done before.
God wants to give you more, so you can do more, abundantly more and have life more abundantly.
Reviving the Joy of the Advent. The all out wonderful joy of knowing that Jesus is coming again for all those who love Him. Regardless of race, gender, denomination or hair color - this blog is for all who enjoy knowing that Jesus is coming again and want to share that news with others.

Wow! I hope that is a prophetic message!
Really interesting. It's a challenging lesson also because it is directly against the "Christian" idea that we need to be poor/not rich to be humble to be good followers. Interesting.
