It is difficult to understand the limitless nature of God. It takes time to reprogram our minds and eliminate the many misconceptions we have about God.
I have heard people say, “You never know what God is going to do. Sometimes He will bless you and other times He will not.” These people are limited in their understanding of God. They are blind to the promises in the Bible.
The Bible has been given to us to equip us for service and to guide us through the difficulties of life.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
(2 Tim. 3:16-17)
We Are To Be Profitable To Him
We are to use the Bible for our doctrine as well as to keep us in line with what God has in mind for us. God wants us to be corrected from our misunderstandings about Him so that we can be profitable in His service.
The result of understanding the will of God in our lives is a life that is dedicated to doing good works for others. God’s priority is to help others. We must always keep that in mind when we are trying to understand what God wants us to do.
God wants to give us the resources we need to accomplish His purpose of helping people.
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.
(Eph. 3:20)
God has given us this wonderful promise to help us take the limits off our minds. He wants us to understand He is not holding back anything. God has always had the priority of helping people.
Called To Be A Blessing
Many people have misunderstood the purpose of being blessed. God wants us blessed so that we can be a blessing. He wants us to abound in all areas of our life so we can help others.
Do we really grasp the meaning of exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think?
God is so much bigger and more powerful than we could ever imagine. We need to realize that no matter how big our problems seem to us, in comparison to what God is able to do, God’s resources will always be more than enough for the task at hand.
