No Limits

Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God! Psalm 42:5-6 (NLT)

Boundaries keep us in line, and they can help prevent adversity. For example, the speed limits we see posted are put in place to ensure our safety. But our God is supreme, and He has no limits or boundaries! That means there are no limits on what God can do in and through us. Our Omnipotent God can't be contained or boxed in by human limits! He can make a way where there is no way, like when He parted the Red Sea for Israel.

“I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols." Isaiah 42:8

The hope and confidence we have as Christ followers is based on God's character and promises. The scriptures tell us when God is on our side, nothing is impossible (Luke 1:37). He is unchanging and everlasting. He is who He says He is, and He will complete everything He promises. But having an eternal hope is a necessary requirement to following Jesus. Through faith, we trust God to guide us as we follow Him. Keeping our faith strong can be challenging, but our eternal hope will keep our faith "afloat" while we wait on a God empowered breakthrough.

Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

When the storms of life are raging, don't despair. When Satan attacks, The Lord will protect you. But life isn't always easy... God will occasionally allow challenging situations to enter our lives to strengthen our faith. To weather life's storms successfully, we must do our part and completely trust Him. Total dependence on God's promises strengthens the eternal hope that resides within us.

When life gets tough, keep your gaze fixed on Jesus. Having a strong faith is a game changer, and it removes any limits our human minds have placed on God. Christ follower, do you understand who God is? Do you trust Him completely, even when things seem hopeless? Remember, God's Word says The Lord is our strength, our shield, and our protection, and that includes every situation!

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21
