Out of the Box

The grand kid has a great fondness for "Mystery Boxes"  They are tiny little boxes or capsules which contain a small toy or figurine from favorite TV shows, movies, games, cartoons, toy lines, etc.  When you have one of these little boxes -  you never know exactly what you are going to get.  You have certain hopes and expectations. But to really know what it is, you have to open the box and let it out.  It could potentially be even better than you ever imagined.



Thinking about these mystery boxes one day got me to thinking... sometimes we kind of treat God like a mystery box.

We expect God to meet certain expectations.  We think of him in human terms. With human limitations.  But, if we keep God in a nice tidy little box - we'll never know how great, how loving, how truly amazing He is!



Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. - Ephesians 3:20

Whatever you ask of Him - he can do far more.  Your thoughts about God don't even begin to touch who and what He really is!  

No matter how big you think God is - He is bigger! 

As great as you think God is - He is greater! 

Whatever you think He can do or accomplish - He is able to do more! 

How much you believe He loves you - He loves you more!  

He is all powerful.  All knowing.  All loving.  He is beyond time, space, borders, expectations, limitations.  

It's time to stop expecting too little of God.  Think outside the box!!


With Love,
