Stop Putting God in a Box

Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

We look at this and we dream up all the things we would like to do, we even get together and agree in prayer that it will be done. We may however, look back and feel as if God is not holding this scripture to be true in our lives. So here is a thought, maybe, just maybe God do exceedingly above all you can ask, or think means that God will give you what you don't even know you want yet.

Example there may be someone who wants to be a chef, they believe in their heart that that is what they are meant to be. God may close the door to culinary school and open up a teaching opportunity. The teacher changes lives of who he teaches and is very fulfilled. This example could be switched as well. The point of the matter is God is even bigger than our ideas.

Psalms 94:11 states The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. We are such a right now people God knows our thoughts and that they are vain, temporary and based on our senses. So next time you look at what seems to be an unanswered prayer look at the need behind that prayer, I guarantee you it is being met or has been met. If you want comfort, it may not have been the way you wanted it or from the person you wanted it from, but was it received? Will you be received when God asks you to move in someones life.

Lets change the way we see things and lets take God out of the box. God bless.
