God of the impossible

Life is filled with impossible situations.  Health, finances, relationships, family, jobs, and many others can be overwhelming to our human thinking.  Solutions can be hard to imagine and even harder to implement.  Many times, I limit my thinking and my doing to ideas that have "worked" in the past. 

At the end of the last school year, I started praying that God would teach me to "think outside the box".  Since then, I've become more and more aware that I am not omnipotent, omniscient, or omnipresent.  In short, I am NOT GOD!  But, the more important revelation has been that God is not human.  He has NO LIMITATIONS!  He can see from the beginning to the end of time.  He is all powerful and all knowing!  He is everywhere at any given moment.

I've been dwelling on these truths from the Bible...
"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the Lord.  "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine."  Isaiah 55:8

Jesus looked at them intently and said, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible.  But with God everything is possible."  Matthew 19:26

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.  Matthew 6:33

I realized that I have been putting God in a "human box", thinking that He has the same limitations that I have.  WRONG!  I've been seeking God more and getting lost in my own thoughts less.  He has answers to my impossible situations that I cannot even fathom!  If I would just listen to Him and be obedient, He will make possible what seems to be impossible! 

I am so grateful that God's ways are beyond anything that I can imagine!  And I am learning to live knowing that with God everything is possible!
