OUR LIMITLESS GOD

Psalm 90:2,4 New Living Translation

“Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, you are God. For you, a thousand years are as a passing day, as brief as a few night hours.”

            One should never assume God has any of the limitations mortal man has. Here the author, who happens to be Moses, points out that God isn’t restricted by time. As a side note, it’s interesting that Moses chose a thousand years being like one day. With that in mind could the 7 days it took for God to create actually have been 7,000 years? Although in the overall scheme of things that happens to be irrelevant, it is interesting to consider, is it not? The reality is that Almighty God has no boundaries when it comes to time and space. God is ubiquitous in nature in that he is all places at one time. That’s because he is a spirit being who doesn’t have a flesh body like you and I.      

            One thing we can know is that since God isn’t restricted in any way, he can meet whatever need you may have. Even if the thing God knew you needed didn’t exist yet, he would create it for you. Far too many times we limit God even though his word says he is limitless. We stress over things we cannot control and strain to make things happen when God says to patiently wait. When will we ever learn?

            At the end of the day we are the ones who change, not God. He is the antithesis of all we think we know. In reality we know very little. Our arrogance gets us into trouble. It’s humility that we are called to embrace. A teachable spirit is what we are in need of. Checking our egos at the door and seeking to imitate Christ in all we think, say and do is what we are in need of as well. That comes from studying the word of God, praising him solely for who he is and waiting for the Shekinah glory of his divine presence to fall upon us. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
