Too Much!

I have limits as to what I can handle. I can only carry so many bags of groceries in from the car. I can only handle so many people complaining. I can only maintain a limited amount of deep quality friendships. There are finite limitations all around me and through my life. My limitations sometimes frustrate me, but I really can only do so much. I even get frustrated with other peoples limitations too. As far as I can tell, even the most intelligent genius among us has limitations. To be human is to have limitations. When I think about God NOT having limitations, my mind can quite manage that thought. Check this out…

5 ‘God is mighty, but despises no one;

    he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.

22 ‘God is exalted in his power.

    Who is a teacher like him?

23 Who has prescribed his ways for him,

    or said to him, “You have done wrong”?

24 Remember to extol his work,

    which people have praised in song.

25 All humanity has seen it;

    mortals gaze on it from afar.

26 How great is God – beyond our understanding!

    The number of his years is past finding out. (Job 36:5,22-26 NIV)

Sometimes when I think of the greatness of God, I am humbled beyond words. In all His Power and Creativity, He still loves me and cares for me. His gentle grace is beyond my capability to comprehend or understand, but I’m thankful to be a recipient of it.

When I read this passage is made me think of the song: How Great Is Our God. My situation looks way different when I look at how great He is. He is not only great, He is full of grace and mercy. He is full of patience with me.
