Who wants More!! ??

The answer to this week’s post might vary, depending on what is being offered.

How about, more of a Greater Revelation of Our Lord God?

For those of us who are shouting out a resounding “Yes!”, another question is making itself known to me.
Are you “Able” to handle more?

If you are like me, then you might be saying, “Yes, I desire more of You, Lord God. I want to step into more of what You have for me.” ….
But, how able am I …. to handle more???

How has my Delivery Service been, with that, which has already been given to me?

With the truth that has been given to me, have I just been throwing it straight into people’s faces?
If that truth is like a hot cup of tea, and if I’ve just been throwing it about, then just how much more, should I be given?
I may want an entire urn of tea, but if all I’m doing is throwing it all around, then would that be such a good idea?

I may want More of the Truth, but can I handle more of The Truth?

I’m just going to say it. 🙂
The words from a movie just keeps going round my head as I’m pondering this…

“I WANT THE TRUTH!”
“YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!”

(From the court room scene of, A Few Good Men.)

I’d like to be able to handle the truth though.

I wouldn’t like to think that all I can be trusted with are a few drops of tea, because I can’t even be trusted, with a full cup of tea?
A few drops of tea in a cup being thrown around, is going to be so much better, than a full cup of tea, being thrown around.

If we do really want more, then are we willing to take a look at our Delivery Service?
Are we willing to listen to Our Lord God’s instructions, for how to handle, what we have been given?
Will we speak up, when we are asked to speak up?
Will we keep quiet, when we are asked or told to be quiet?
Will we speak His Words, when they are given to us, or will we prefer our own words, thinking that we know what it is that we want to say? (His words will actually be better.)

Will we be willing to just place our cups of tea onto the ground, (if directed to) knowing full well that they may, just be kicked over?
Will we place them onto the ground, and leave the responsibility of what happens to them, to Our Lord God Almighty?

How much do we need to learn, before we are able to be trusted with more?

Are we willing to listen to Our Lord God, for the lessons that we need to hear?

Will we not stop at just listening to the lessons, but also implement them, and do what is being asked of us?

If we really do want more of what Our Lord God has for us, then will we truly engage in the process, and walk the path that He leads us along?

Matthew 13:10-15

¹⁰ The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”

¹¹ He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. ¹² Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. ¹³ This is why I speak to them in parables:

“Though seeing, they do not see;
    though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

¹⁴ In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:

“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
    you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
¹⁵ For this people’s heart has become calloused;
    they hardly hear with their ears,
    and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
    hear with their ears,
    understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’
