More Than All

 

More Than All

 

“I want all I can get out of life”

This is the common thinking

But “All” does not seem very much

When its only for self seeking

 

For only one person enjoys that “All”

And it never is enough

If only they would really see

How worthless is their stuff!

 

Instead of getting let us give

To Jesus all we own

For through this gift—though very small

God’s glory can be shown

 

A little boy’s lunch, A widow’s two mites

And a shepherd’s sling and stones

A cruise of oil and a little meal

All given—and how they’ve grown!

 

Why hoard the little that you have--

Give to Jesus everything

For He can do exceeding abundantly

Above all with anything!

 

 

Eph 3:20-21

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 

Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. 

 

Jeremiah 33:1-3 

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 

Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name; 

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. 

 

Jeremiah’s All—Faith!

Jeremiah was in prison. He really didn’t have much to give—except faith in God!
