Summary: I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “Don’t put God into a box.” What it means is, don’t create God in your image. Don’t put limitations on God. Instead, let God be God. Let Him work the way He works—and don’t try to quantify or limit His capabilities. In my own life, I get caught up in planning. I consider What do I want to do? What’s best for me? Or What’s best for my family? And if anything other than my initial preferences occurs, I get frustrated. I complain, wondering why things get so hard. What I have to remember – and what we all have to remember – is that God is all about bringing glory to Himself and to the Kingdom. And often, that means His mighty plan is going to be bigger than I can ever comprehend. God’s plan may include a few obstacles that I don’t want or that I don’t understand. But God’s plan is still purposeful. God is not limited to my likes and dislikes, my timeframe, or my personal goals. God does not fit into my box. Remember that God loves you—but sometimes His plan may look a lot different than yours. The Bible says in Proverbs 3:5 to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding” – so do it! Trust God; He is bigger than we can ever comprehend. That will help you so much as you reach your world. This is Andrew Palau.
