| Psalm 78:40-41 (King James Version) 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. "Release Me", says the Lord. You may be going through a "wilderness" experience. You feel like you are in a dry and desolate place. You are asking, when God, when? You may be asking how God, how? Or why God, why? God has you just where He wants you. God is using this time to build character in you. God is using this time to deepen His relationship with you. God is using this time to bring you in line with His purpose. Often times, we get tired of waiting on God. God's timing is perfect. A songwriter said it best, " He may not come when you want Him but He's right on time". At times, you have a give and take relationship with God. You give Him your burden. When He doesn't move in your time you take it back. Is it possible to limit God? Limit means to restrict by establishing boundaries; to confine.God gets ready to move and then you limit Him through our doubt. You establish boundaries. In other words, you are waiting for God to send a check in the mail not realizing that the bank made an error in your favor. You ask God for a companion who looks a certain way. God sends Mr. or Ms. Right but they were not packed like you thought and you missed them. So many times, you try to " help" God be God. He knows what is best for you. God makes impossible things possible. He can do anything. There is nothing too hard for God. He's not a man and cannot lie(Num.23:19-20). You have invited God into the situation. But fear and doubt have pushed Him out. Faith is an active ingredient in a blessing. God said if I believe it, He will perform it. |
God can! Give God that problem, sitaution, concern, dream, that desire of your heart. You have prayed, cried, and fasted. Now, leave it there. If you have to, get a can, a box, or something you will not be able to open. Put an opening at the top. Write what you need God to do. Put it inside, remember you cannot take it back. Now, watch the limitless God perform it.
God Bless
