THE SKY'S THE LIMIT

Why do we limit God? It's amazing how we put our natural tendencies onto God. We can't so He can't. Or we say God can't so we can't.

Have you ever really thought about God lately? I mean really understand His reputation? Speaking the universe into being? Parting the Red Sea? Placing the earth in its perfect orbit and rotation? Creating the Grand Canyon? Placing our sun in its place without getting burned? Being born through a human being? Raising a dead girl to life? Telling a man held to his wheel chair to get up and walk suddenly? Walking on water without skis? Telling a thief on the cross next to Him that he will go to Paradise with Jesus soon?

I mean what's the deal? It's true what God's word says: nothing is impossible with God!

So why are we insecure? Why aren't we bold to do what God wants us to do? Why do we think that the world is the only that excels to be bold, creative, fun, excellent, and memorable? Why can the church still act so sheepishly when the Lion of Judah reigns in their hearts? Why do we think so little of ourselves and what we can accomplish when God orders our steps, fills us with His presence, promises us the grace and wisdom to do it, and exhorts us to get God's vision for our lives?

We limit what we can do cause we limit God. We stand sit in the seat of mediocraty because we think God wants great things only for other people. But God wants us to get His vision. Imagine that! God has a vision for your life- one of purpose, power, blessing, and one that brings glory to His name.

The sky's the limit. Nothing is impossible with God. So stop planning and living your life based on you and get His vision and will for your life. When you finally take the dip of surrender to His purpose and perfect vision for you, life will never the same. Neither for you or others. Dream, believe, obey, and worship an incredible God!
