Be more demanding

Sunday December 23rd, Isaiah 7: God spoke to Ahaz and said, "Ask for a sign from your God. Ask anything. Be extravagant. Ask for the moon!" But Ahaz said, "I'd never do that. I'd never make demands like that on God!" Do we sometimes not ask God for what we want because deep down inside we still want to be in control. If we ask God and we get it, then we have to admit to ourselves that our gracious God is indeed a gracious God and not some automaton that responds to Our doing. All we have and all we will ever have is a gift from God. All we are asked to do us use it for the Kingdom, too often what we want is to use it for our little kingdom (small k). So, Ask, Seek, Knock and use for the Kingdom and let God be God.
