Are You Living with God in a Box?

Many of us live our lives with God in a box. Our view of Him is small, as if what He can do is limited. When our problems are so big and we see no way out, then we feel like it's also too big for God. Our lives would look completely different if we stopped putting God in a box and started living like He's the almighty God that He is! God is a big God and there's nothing He can't handle. No matter how big the issue, God can change any heart and heal any sickness. We might know this in our head, but are we really LIVING like we believe it?

Many believe that God doesn't heal today like He used to when we read in the Bible about how He made the lame walk and the blind see. Hebrews 13:8 says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." He never changes! He's still the same God that He was and He still heals just like He did then. Matthew11:5 says, " 'The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up...' " The God who worked these miracles then still works these miracles today. To say that He doesn't heal today is saying that He isn't who He says He is. He can and He DOES heal!

When we believe God to be the God that He is, then even our prayer life will be different. We'll stop praying for small things, as if God is limited and we'll start praying and believing for GREAT things! James 1:6 says, "But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind." The first sentence in the Bible, alone, shows what a big God He is. He created the heavens and the earth! Think about that for a second. Like....whoah. And we doubt that He can take care of our problems? God is big and He does big things! So let's start living like we believe that!

Every morning when I wake up, I pray that God will use me in big ways that day...bigger ways than I could ever imagine! God is a big God, so let's pray and believe for big things!
