Power Of Bursting At The Seams

Key Scripture:  “Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.”  Proverbs 24:3

Power Point:

      How do you measure God? If you were building a new house, how big would the space be that you build for Him? Is He in a broom closet or in the Master Suite?  Is He in the attic or the basement or is He free to go wherever he likes?

     How big is the space you are building for God this year? Are you giving Him more room than last year?  Is He going through a growth spurt? Have you decided to give Him the run of the house?  Is it time to get rid of some clutter?

      Proverbs says that a home is filled with all good and pleasant riches.  I’m sure you’ve seen pictures or know someone whose house is filled with beautiful things. They have the finest that money can buy yet there is no wisdom in that house. It has been established without understanding. There is no knowledge of God that can make that house a home.  On the other hand, you probably also know people who don’t have the finest sofas, or paintings or carpets and yet you love to go to their house because it’s filled with the true riches. It’s filled with peace. Love overflows in its rooms. Kindness abounds. You feel right at home.

God’s presence offers us His wisdom and His Holy Spirit offers us the means to add His wisdom to our lives. Applying what He tells you is how He grows bigger.  I found out a lot about God last year. I intend to find out more this year.  How about you?

     It truly is easy to measure the room He has in our lives isn’t it?  Love should be growing by leaps and bounds. Peace should be large enough to fill the air. Wisdom should definitely be evident in every decision.

     Will you make room for God’s grace to grow in you and through you this year?  Will you make room for a growth spurt of all that He is and all that He has given you?  Will you come to the end of this year knowing that it’s time to add on more space for God?

Is your life bursting at the seams with the goodness of the life of God?
