Did you all know that God wants MUCH MORE for us than to be wilderness wonders?
Don’t spend your entire life lost between a river and a sea.
Oswald Chambers said the greatest crisis we ever face is the surrender of our will.
Yet God never forces a person’s will into surrender, and He never begs.
He patiently waits until that person willingly yields to Him.

God never intended for us to be stuck lost in the wilderness.
He wants us to have the MUCH MORE.

God wants us to have MUCH MORE!
God preserved this for us as a warning
Paul writes
God wants the much more for each of you.
Paul is showing us what not to do.
Where are you at tonight?
Bondage ?
wilderness?
Lets look at tonight's acrostic.
Tonight we are going to spend a little time looking at each of these parts of Step 10.
Of course, we need an acrostic.
Tonight the word is TEN.
Take time to do a daily inventory
Evaluate the good and the bad
Need to admit our wrongs promptly
The T answers the “what” question: TAKE time to do a daily inventory.
To inventory something is simply to count it.
Businesses take inventory all the time.
Principle 7 reminds us to “reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer.”
This gives us quiet time to count the good and bad things we did during a particular period of time.
Lamentations 3:40 exhorts us to “examine our ways and test them, and ... return to the Lord.”
We need to ask ourselves these questions:
• What good did I do today?
• In what areas did I blow it today?
• Did I do or say anything that hurt anyone today?
• Do I owe anyone amends?
• What did I learn from my actions today?
The E in our acrostic answers the “why” question: EVALUATE the good and the bad.
Would you rather be right or well?
First John 1:8 – 10 (TLB) says: “If we say we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves, and refusing to accept the truth.
But if we confess our sins to him, he can be depended on to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong.
(And it is perfectly proper for God to do this for us because Christ died to wash away our sins.)
If we claim we have not sinned, we are lying and calling God a liar, for he says we have sinned.”
Once we see the light, we have a choice.
We can ignore it or we can act on it.
If we act, we are living the last part of Step 10 and answer the “then what” question.
We NEED to admit our wrongs promptly.
In Matthew 5:23 –24 (MSG), Jesus tells us, “This is how I want you to conduct yourself in these matters.
If you enter your place of worship and, about to make an offering, you suddenly remember a grudge a friend has against you, abandon your offering, leave immediately, go to this friend and make things right.
Then and only then, come back and work things out with God.”
In other words, admit your wrongs ... promptly!
