Ask For More...I Dare You! (#29)

There is a brief infomercial that sometimes runs on T.V. which I find to be rather
interesting.  No doubt it was inspired by Charles Dickens’ “Oliver Twist.” 

There are a group of boys eating what looks like porridge.  One boy has the “audacity
of hope” to ask for more.

The headmaster looks around incredulously and bellows “More?”

To which the person serving says apologetically, “Well, he did say ‘please.’”

The headmaster then nods thoughtfully in agreement, “Yes, and ‘thank you’.”

The boy’s wish is granted and suddenly a host of other boys are being served seconds. 

Presumably, they too have asked for more.

You know, we too can and should ask God for more.  More faith, more courage, more

of anything in which we are in need.

God knows our needs and is willing to supply them, but we must ask.  1 John 5:14, 15

says, “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his

will, he heareth us:  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we

have the petitions that we desired of him.”

As a loving Heavenly Father He will not give us anything that will harm us, so we can be confident in asking.

Heaven’s vast storehouse of resources can never be depleted. 

So go ahead, ask for more…I dare you!
