I'm listening to the audio book, "The Supernatural Power of a Transformed Mind" by Bill Johnson. It's a great book. I think I will get through the whole book tonight, and listen to it again and again. He tells the story of a family living in Europe that wants to move to the USA. They are poor and plan for along time to take the boat. They buy their tickets for the ship. They pack all kinds of food they believe they will need for the weeks spent in the small cabin they will share. At dinner time they can hear all the passengers heading for the dinning hall as they eat their crackers. Finally, on the last night of the trip the father decides to treat his family to a good meal to celebrate. After the meal the father asks the waiter, "how much do I owe you"? The waiter looks confused and says, it was included in the price of the ticket.
His point is God included so much more for us then spiritual salvation when he died on the cross. How many Christians are surviving on crackers when there is an all you can eat banquet waiting for us? I don't know about you, but I'm sick of crackers...I want more from God!!!
