A Faith without limits!

Here on earth and inside the human mind there lies a multitude of boundaries.  A few of these include:  Countries, States, Cities, Laws, Sports Fields/Courts, Property Lines, Speed Limits, personal boundaries/limitations, etc.  My mind has been trained to stay within boundaries(each has the intent to provide a society with proper structure/fairness/protection and so forth).  These boundaries/rules are commanded to be obeyed(see Heb 13:7).  We are so overwhelmed with boundaries and limitations that it is easy to place constraints to every facet of life.  The good news- our Almighty God has no limits.  The challenge- to not have a faith with limitations.   Mark 9:23 says, everything is possible to those who believe.    Matt 19:26/Luke 1:37 says,  Nothing is impossible with God.  We have a powerful Savior without limits/boundaries, yet I often fall short in truly believing He can do anything.  Thank God for His Word-the Scriptures-as a reference and resource to help erase the boundaries I naturally (or through learned response) want to place around God.  They say we only use about 10% of our brain/cognitive capacity.  I wonder how much power of God I am missing due to unbelief--placing reigns/constraints/limits on a boundless God.  Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  Blessings in your pursuit…….TO

Not Us

We are daily inundated with the ‘I/Me’ focus in our present day societal culture.  If not circumspect in our attitude, we can easily be duped into the fallacy that we can do anything ourselves……..our efforts/merit.   We also tend to view life events in terms of ‘what’s in it for me’!  Many passages in God’s Word show us to think less of self and more of others.  Deuteronomy. 8:17-18 warns of an egocentric heart- You may say to yourself, "My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me."  But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today. The true source is not us……..but our Awesome God.  He gives freely, He loves abundantly.  As we journey through this life, perhaps our mindset should be, ‘what’s in it(my life) for the Lord’!  Am I recognizing the source of blessings(children, faithful spouse, jobs, life needs, church, etc)?  Do I honor God in my actions with all He entrusts to me?  Recognize, Trust, Honor, Praise, and Give Thanks daily to our faithful God.  Blessings in your pursuit…….TO
