Aim A Little Higher
This sermon Aim A Little Higher, explains so much about how we are to approach the issue of the kingdom of God. Above all things, the first request we must make, said Jesus, was to ask for God's Kingdom to come. And after all the prayer is over and the requests made, we are to recognize that we must be delivered from evil by God's hand - not on our own - and all for the reason that "For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever." In other words, the Kingdom is God's Kingdom and we are to involve ourselves in it as HIS SERVANTS. We cannot cope in life with the evil around without God and His Kingdom delivering us. We are not to come to God as though we are on equal basis with Him. He is God and we are His children - and serve Him. He is not a remedy to our illnesses which we cast aside after He has served our purpose. God is in control. Not us. When we come to God, we must AIM A LITTLE HIGHER than we may have when we came to Him God RULES - not us. We cannot exist without God - we need him to deliver us because the Kingdom to which we are seeking help is HIS Kingdom.
