Oh, I couldn't do that

Sunday December 19th, 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, Our pleading, Our manipulation. All we have and all we will ever have is a gift from God and that is a hard fact to swallow for many, we want to be in control, god answered Our prayers, we believed and belonged to the Right theology/church. To prove we are Right all we are asked to do us use it for the Kingdom, but then all too often it is simply for our little kingdom (small k). So, Ask, Seek, Knock and Be the Kingdom (capitol K) and let God be God.
