We like to
think we have no limits. It makes us feel
powerful. But the truth is we are
limited in almost every way possible. We
are limited in life span. We have
limited vision. We have limited
hearing. We have limited physical
capabilities. And we certainly have
limited understanding. I mean, we can’t
even understand our relationships let alone the smallest part of the physical
world we live in.
We try to
understand. We spend years of effort and
billions of dollars trying to understand how some things work, what their
capabilities are, how life started, how it all works and works together. This lack of understanding causes us to fail
in many ways. We can’t fix certain
health issues, change destructive weather, find cures, make things last
forever, etc.
God, however,
has no limits. He is all powerful, sees
all, hears all and knows all. And there
is no limit to His understanding. That
is a good thing to know. He understands
everything about how life works and works together. He should since He created it all.
Great is our
LORD, and of great power; There is no
limit to His understanding. Ps. 147:5
God understands
the general capabilities of man but also our individual capabilities. That means when He asks us to do something He
knows we are capable of doing it with His help (Zc. 4:6; Php. 4:13). He understands why we do the things we do yet
He still calls us to improve (Ep. 4:14,15),
and helps us with that as well (2Cr. 3:18). God is NOT limited in His understanding and
that is comforting to know because it means the best thing to me:
God understands me!
Inside and out, upside and down, motives and desires,
hopes and dreams, thoughts and actions, even when I don’t understand
myself. Thank you God!
