DO YOU PUT GOD IN A "BOX"... DO YOU LIMIT HIS POWER!

"But will God indeed dwell on the earth?
Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens
cannot contain You. How much less this
temple which I have built!" 1 Kings 8:27

It must have been a magnificent place, this temple that
Solomon built. So much gold. So much bronze. So much
stone and wood and labor and pillars all around. But
Solomon had a glimpse of the power of God. Sure, he
built a home for God. But he was wise enough to realize
that God would not dwell there. It was too small. The
entire universe was too small for this God of the Jews.

Still, we today continually put God in a box -- not
a house or a temple -- a box. "How do we do that?"
you may be asking. We do it by limiting the power
of God to what we can imagine. We all have or know
friends who have or had insisted that God could heal
his or her husband, wife, etc. While he or she was
at death's door. They had bone cancer, lupus, etc.
They were sick beyond imagination and was weak as
a kitten. They could not stand, or walk. The doctors
had given up. And, I must admit, most of us had given
up as well. We (The relatives and friends) were trying
to figure out how we could prepare this poor woman or
man for her loved ones demise.

Ah, but we had limited God to what the doctors said
and what we could see. She had opened the lid on her
box. Her God could do the impossible -- AND HE DID!
A few months later this DEAD PERSON was driving all
over town, Praise God! It was an amazing recovery!
Even the doctors were astounded.

So what problems are you facing? Think they are too
big to be solved? May I suggest that you open the
lid to your God box and stuff the problem in there.
God will certainly devour it and deliver you from
the trouble you face. All you have to do is let Him
be God Almighty. He's much bigger and more powerful
than you could ever imagine! AND NO PROBLEM IS TOO
LARGE FOR HIM. Hallelujah, Amen and Amen.
