WELCOME TO THE LAND OF MORE AND MORE (Part 1).
We never get to the end in God's land. It never comes to a stalemate. It is always MORE AND MORE. Proverbs 4:18 says, “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth MORE AND MORE unto the perfect day.”
May God save us from dipping our toes in the shallow waters of God's vastness when there is an ocean of treasures of wisdom and understanding and more than we can ever dream of (Isaiah 64:4; 1 Corinthians 2:9 and Colossians 2:2-3).
A friend of mine shared with me a true story of how her brother in New Zealand purchased some land, but it was only enough for a hobby farm. Years later, he decided to sell the land and only then found out that he actually owned another 10 acres that he didn't even know about. These acres were fertile and wonderful land and would have provided him a full income. But, he missed out because he didn't know what he owned! Often, we don't live in all that God has for us because we don't even know what we have! We've got to constantly seek God and His Word so we don't miss out.
Recently I checked out all the things that God wants us to have MORE of in His Word. I'll start with a couple today and share more during the week. There are over 20 of them so keep watching for them each day.
MORE abundant life (John 10:10).
The words "MORE ABUNDANTLY" in this Scripture come from the Greek word perissos which means, "exceedingly, above the normal, beyond measure, above and beyond, extraordinary." This is the life that God provides for us. It exceeds the normal. God doesn't want your marriage to be normal or average, but above the normal. He doesn't want you to be a "survival mother" but an "above the normal" mother. Press in for more and more each day. Always be pressing in for more of God and more of His understanding for you as a mother.
MORE angelic protection (2 Kings 6:16).
We certainly want more of this, don't we?

P.S. Look out for more tomorrow.
