How big is your Cup?

Good afternoon everybody,
I was told a word picture years ago, and it has stuck with me. It was a picture of God, standing next to a water tower of His blessings. It was bigger than the sun! The faucet He was ready to open was as big around as the earth. And here we come, asking Him to fill us up, and we have this little teacup!
Can we limit God? He is infinite! Can we keep Him from doing what He wants to do in our lives? If you are like me, you are asking, ‘where is the scripture?’
Psalm 78:40, 41 says about the children of Israel…
40How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
41Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

So according to scripture, we can limit God, as far as what He can do for us. It is we who decide how big our cup is.
This leads to the question,, ‘how do I make my cup bigger?’
A lesson series from Keith Moore’s sermons online (www.morelifenow.org ) called ‘Thanksgiving Victory’ directly addresses that question. And basically the title says it, but there is so much GOOD information I wish I could get across to you. It doesn’t come across in writing. He talks about Hannah, Ahab, Jezebel, Rachel, Joseph and the brothers, Jesus, etc. And, he links them all up in thankfulness and humility, or unthankfulness and pride. VERY enlightening!! I guarantee that he will step on your toes somewhere in there, but not in a bad way. You can hit the audio button and listen while reading email or doing facebook, or cooking or whatever. Really, at least listen to the second message, about Jesus and self-pity. Absolutely life changing!!
So the question is, how do I increase my capacity to receive more from the Lord? The answer is as simple as a drop of water, and as infinitely deep and complex as that same drop.
(go ahead and listen!) ~:D
I love y’all dearly! Thanks be to God who ALWAYS causes us to triumph in Christ!

Healed by His stripes,
