Several years ago the Fort Wayne Memorial Coliseum went through a major expansion. One aspect of that project was that they literally raised the huge roof of the old coliseum quite a bit to allow for higher seating. It was amazing to watch from various directions. They didn’t replace it, they raised it.

Sometimes our roof can be our limitation. You can’t go any higher than your roof. Your established roof limits how high you can go. In our lives, our roof can be in our minds, in our limited finances, or our understanding. We either have to settle for our current roof, or we need to raise our roof.

The federal government has a “debt ceiling”, which means to be fiscally responsible we can’t borrow more than our ceiling. Yet, every year they keep raising the debt ceiling and borrowing more. What is the purpose of a debt ceiling if it really isn’t a ceiling? Why not call it a debt cloud?

If you want to be all God has intended you to be, you need to raise the roof in your life. What can you do to raise that roof?
