Limiting God

Looking at the Jewish people of Jesus' time, we see a nationality of people who believed in Yahweh with every tithe and tittle. Yet as Jesus stretched their understanding, they held fast to what they knew of God, and not what He could actually do. They limited Him by not allowing Him to work outside of their box.

Isn't that what many of us tend to do even today? We view God through the confines of our past experience and religious denomination. We place Him in box of our expectations and understanding of how He works, and whenever that image or understanding begins to be stretched, we jump back and cry shenanigins.

I ask you just as I ask of myself today: Are you limiting God?
