Blank Check

I have never had anyone offer me a blank check. This type of check is signed and guaranteed by the owner and all you have to do is fill in the amount. The validity of the check depends upon the signature and resources of the owner.

I don’t imagine that you have received such a check either. Who would authorize this type of check. The owner would have to have virtually unlimited resources and a certain amount of trust in the recipient. The recipient would have to give assurances that the gift would be used within the parameters set by the owner.

Larger than the value of the check is the amount of grace needed to give such a gift. God has offered us a blank check of sorts. He said, “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Luke 11:9. God’s intent for this gift is that it be used to fulfill His purposes. He trusts the recipient, you and me, to use it in according to His wishes, not selfishly. He promises to deliver if we ask and adhere to these conditions. His grace is sufficient for your needs.

After 16 years of vocational ministry, God has called me to a simpler ministry. Now I just proclaim His truth simply to those who are open to hear it. God is speaking through His Word and His creation.
