A generation whose heart was not constant and whose spirit was not faithful to God" (Psalms78:8).
"Limiting or rejecting God. Hmm...when I read the readings today I kinda of shook my head and said "that's not me" I love God I don't reject him and I certainly wouldn't intentionally limit him. He is the limitless God but when I reflected more deeply I realize I limit and reject him every single day. I reject him when I know clearly what he wants me to do but ignore or do things my own way. I limit him when I manipulate or control situations and get in his way for my blessings. Yep, I do this all the time. I don't know that I can honestly say "my faith is as big as my God"; in fact, I would say my faith isn't anywhere close to being the same size as my God. I will pray half-hearted prayers, holding back asking what I really want because in my heart my faith isn't big enough to believe he can achieve it. Which is preposterous when looking at how he has transformed and claimed my life for his work. Until I really reflected, I don't think I realized how often I limit and reject His plan. I wonder…How do I increase my faith? How do I expand my hope? I believe it starts with love. Keeping love in my heart instead of hate, forgiving people instead of holding grudges, loving others in their messes and not judging or looking down on them. If I could get better at this maybe I wouldn't limit God in my prayers maybe I would pray boldly and ask for the moon confident he will provide me with whatever I ask him for. Where are you in this subject? Do you limit or reject God by your unbelief, inaction, manipulation, or lack of faith. Let us start today by increasing our faith and devotion and leaving the past hurts, regrets and all other things of this world in the past where it belongs. May God bless each of us today and help us to boldly ask God for what we want and allow us the awareness for when we are limiting him in our unbelief and lack of faith
Keep on trucking
