Much, Much, More

 Scripture:

“I gave you your master’s house and his wives and the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. And if that had not been enough, I would have given you much, much more.” ‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭12‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

When Nathan confronted David about sleeping with Bathsheba and having her husband murdered, he told David that God gave him much, but would have given him much, much, more. David short-circuited the blessing of God when he committed adultery and had a man murdered. He forfeited the “much, much, more” blessing for a moment of pleasure.

Application:

Sin can short-circuit God’s plans for your life. Sin is pleasurable for a season, but it results in bad things every time. As for me, I want to live in the “much, much, more” blessing of God. I don’t want to live in a way that would stop up the blessing of God on my life. I want to serve God well in my generation and see the blessing of a life well-lived. 

Prayer:

Father, let my life bring You glory. Help me to walk in integrity with You all the days of my life. Let me see the days of the much, much, more blessing of God. Convict me when I’m wrong and show me each and every step to take each day. Help me to walk in step with You all my life and to bring You honor and glory. 

Yours Forever,

Jeff
