This morning as I was reading from the book of Isaiah, a few words jumped off the page.
God spoke again ... "Ask for a sign from your God. Ask anything. Be extravagant. Ask for the moon!" (Isaiah 7:10)
I'm sitting with that, trying to grasp the thought that God encourages us to ask anything. Anything! What does anything mean? How about extravagant? What does that mean?
The part of me that battles selfishness wants to close my ears to this. The part of me that wants the moon is breathless with excitement. What could this mean for individuals, for families, for the church? What if we asked extravagantly in situations that seem hopeless, overwhelming, or just too huge to even think that one person's prayers will make a difference? What if we prayed this way for others as well as for ourselves?
Ask anything. Be extravagant. Ask for the moon!
