Living In The Full Capacity

The Lord has been revealing to me my attitude toward not living to the full capacity of the measure of faith I have been apportioned. We get comfortable living a life with no risk and minimum faith effort. But if I expect daily testimonies I need to start swimming in the deep in end of faith.

I have been happy with earning enough in the coffee shop to pay the bills but this is not living a large life. There is no faith needed here, only trust that God will supply our needs. But he has called us as investors, to invest the "talent" to see it multiplied. It is in the multiplication that Father receives glory.

He wants us to model a blessed life, where they can actually see him doing the impossible, multiplying beyond what is natural. In this he receives the glory.

So in this past week we have seen things multiplying but he has also been pushing me, that he has given me a great capacity of faith than I have yet realized. Today, it looked like we were not going to make the minimum with one hour to go in the day. I was puzzled and started to take a personal inventory. Then three quick orders came in and brought us into the profit side of things. Yet I knew he had intended more today.

I testify to his goodness and make a mark here that I choose to operate in my full capacity. This is a marker in that growth.

A passport found, a trip not taken

Amy needs to get her photo ID health card. When MJ took her in to the CLSC they told her she needed a photo ID to get her photo ID. Because she didn't have it, I would have to go downtown to their main office to process the health card request. To be honest, I did not want to lose most of my only day off doing this.

This morning I was discussing today with Jesus and confessed I really didn't want to go all the way downtown. The problem was that we weren't able to find Amy's passport to have the request processed locally.

Just before leaving I decided to look for the passport one last time time. My wife came in at that moment, walked over to my dresser and announced "Found it". She had suddenly been compelled to look in a box beside my dresser and it was on the top.

Answered prayer for a spoken desire, "I don't want to go downtown."

God is good. Thank you Jesus.
