  4. Review from last week • We all desire to see through God’s eyes as opposed to our own (remember 2 Kings 6) • We also agreed that God does not want us to afflict or punish ourselves, but that we are to be about His business (Isaiah 58) • That Jesus spoke very plainly about the things that are valuable in God’s site (Luke 4:18-19)

  5. So What? • We are given specific instructions about actions in James 1:23-25 • Let me remind you what the goal is (Luke 4:18-19) • And whose job is that today? (John 14:12)

  6. Greater works….. • When blessing comes, so can complacency • He does not call you to “produce” more, but you are to ask and believe Him for more • You must be on the edge of your seat looking for, seeking out, what “more” is • Greater is more in number • He was only preaching for 3 years • There was only one of Him • Jesus is into multiplication

  7. So where’s the balance? • James 1:23-25 • We must train ourselves to seek His will more • We must be attentive to the things that are most valuable to Him • Give me some ideas…..
