How Can I Get More?

Ever have those moments, those mornings, those can’t quite get out of bed cause it’s too cold, can’t get myself up to put away this dirty dish cause I’m so comfortable, can’t mow the lawn cause…can’t do the laundry cause…can’t…can’t…can’t…can’t…

Too many excuses.
Too many times.
Too much at stake.

If you can’t make time to do the LITTLE things, how can you expect to handle the BIG things? God says He will entrust you with MUCH once you show you can manage FEW. That means His plan is to BLESS you and continue BLESSING you so long as you’re willing and able to manage it appropriately (that means making time for the things that matter).

Maybe you’re stuck.
Maybe you haven’t felt the presence of God move in your life in years (or ever).
Maybe you’ve been praying for God to do something and it hasn’t happened yet.
Maybe you’ve been waiting to get married.
Maybe you’ve been waiting on that promotion.

I’m sure the list can go on and on and on and on, because let’s face it, we’ve all got SOMETHING. We’ve all got something we WANT, a DREAM in the making. And we want God to make it happen RIGHT NOW and He’s like, but WAIT…what have you done to show Me you can handle it?

He’s looking at how you manage your household.
He’s looking at how you handle yourself at work.
He’s looking at your parenting.
He’s looking at how you manage your finances (oh dang, Nick just said the f word).
He’s looking at how often you’re investing in others.

He's looking at what you're doing with everything He's already given you.

All the while He’s calculating whether or not you could be ENTRUSTED with more.

Can you?
If not, what needs to change?
If yes, get ready for MORE!
