God isn't a God for a box!

With my trip to Italy, something that I've been struggling with is the big green bucks. Maybe I should say more that God will provide the big green bucks. Trusting God for the money is one of the things that I've been struggling with about my trip. Not the biggest though and the biggest struggle I don't know if I'd label a "struggle". But God is big enough! Today I received a check in the mail from a couple that goes to our Church. It was a lot of money and so encouraging! God's big enough. He's big enough for anything. Yet, there are things that God CANNOT DO. One is, God cannot lie. Cannot. Don't try to size Him down to a toy God; He's more then we can ever dream! Don't put God in a box!

Yes, I wonder why it is when we say, "God You are more than enough" that we feel like we are limiting ourselves when in all reality we are not and He truly is great enough for all we are going through? It seems like one of those thngs that we know in our minds but we don't really know it in our hearts. There tends to be a big difference between heart knowlege and mind knowlege. As well, if we don't believe God is strong enough then we aren't going to trust Him very well.

Yes, God is totally big enough! I am fursterated with myself because I keep on forgetting it. You can't really trust God unless you do believe that He's really who He says He is and, like Bethany said, we need to believe God's big enough before we can really trust Him. Are you wired more with trusting or doubting? Remember, doubt isn't a bad thing but watch how you respond to it!
