TAKE THE LIMITS OFF

"...they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy Oneof Israel" (Psalm 78:41).

God can do anything! He is powerful and His Word will never fail to produce result, yet He will never impose on you. He has given you a free will to choose (Deut 30:19): either to keep Him in mind and permit Him to be involved in your life or to turn away from His plan and purpose and so limit Him.

Sadly, when we limit God we also limit ourselves. Without Him we can never attain our full potential. You may achieve some success but never make the difference you are capable of when you permit God to "work in you both to will and do His good pleasure" (Phil 2:13).

God created you in His own image and He says: "without me you can do nothing" (John 15:5). To the person who believes this, He says: "nothing shall be impossible". Daniel made this connection when he spoke of those "who know their God": they will “be strong and do exploits" (Dan 11:32). And, declaring "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me", Paul reminds us how significant it is that we sustain this powerful relationship in Christ in which God is free both to work in us, for us and through us.

As you make your way through life there will be times of trials (Psa 77:7-12) or even prosperity (Hos 13:6) when you are tempted through fear or pride to ignore God and limit Him in your life. The challenge for you today is to constantly think right and speak right about God, so that by His unlimited grace you will always be the best you can be no matter what..!

Take the limits off!
