Our God is unlimited. He cannot fit in our little box of reasoning and understanding. He cannot be contained by earthly constraints and limits. GOD CAN DO IT. He makes the impossible possible, and he does it without sweat. Nothing is too hard for him. Nothing is out of his reach. The only thing you have to do is bring him your limits, bring him your insufficiency, bring him your way too little and far too late and BELIEVE he can do something with it.

Don’t you know he can, my sister. He can do far more than you could ever ask, think or imagine. Time and time again he can come through for you personally in the sweetest and most divine ways. You won’t be able to understand it. You won’t have a plan for it. You won’t be able to reproduce it on your own. It’s simply God’s miraculous work in the details of your fully surrendered life.

But first, you really do have to fully surrender your life to him. Yes, surrender before you understand God. Before it all makes sense. Without a sense of fully getting it or a means of control. You just have to surrender to the God who formed you and chose you and is relentlessly calling you to a relationship and partnership with him. And once you surrender your life, then you find all those questions you had simply don’t need to be answered anyway. Your human mind has a head on collision with faith, and faith says God holds it all and can be trusted.

This week I’ve been messaging with a podcast listener who so desperately wants to surrender her life to God, but she’s struggling. She’s struggling to understand. Struggling to make sense of some restrictions of religion and exclusions of evangelism. And it just doesn’t feel right to accept the saving grace of the Jesus she believes in when it means that others aren’t saved as well. So, the beautiful soul that she is, has decided if Jesus can’t save everyone, then she doesn’t want to be saved.

I can’t pretend to have the right words to guide her. But I know God’s word is for her. I know when God says in 2 Peter 3:9 that he is not willing, wishing or wanting anyone to be lost from him, he absolutely means it. How will he save everyone? How will he reach the ends of the earth with the saving grace of Jesus? I don’t know. That’s my little box, and God simply does not fit in my little box. But I know the impossible is made possible with God and my understanding is simply not required. My faith is calling for my surrendered mind to simply trust him.

And I believe that’s what God is doing in this precious woman’s life as she is seeking. He’s calling her to faith that will bring her to a place of surrender and trust. A place where her little box will be crushed with an encounter with the Almighty. You know why? Because God is not willing, wishing or wanting to lose HER.

Maybe that’s what he’s doing in your life right now too. He’s personally showing you he’s not willing, wishing or wanting to lose you. So he’s been speaking to you. He’s been calling you. He’s been relentlessly tapping on your heart and you know it! Girl, just let him in!

I’ve been studying 2 Kings 4 in depth this week. It’s truly a book of the Bible and a chapter I’ve sped right through before and missed the depths of the lessons available in the stories God wanted preserved for us. I’ve been practicing a slower pace to savor the fullness of God’s word and let it come alive in me. That has brought me to the final paragraph in the chapter and an ‘ah-ha’ moment to be shared here with you.

Let’s read it together. 2 Kings 4: 42-44:

One day a man from Baal-shalishah brought the man of God (Elisha) a sack of fresh grain and twenty loaves of barley bread made from the first grain of his harvest. Elisha said, “Give it to the people so they can eat.”

“What?” his servant exclaimed. “Feed a hundred people with only this?”

But Elisha repeated, “Give it to the people so they can eat, for this is what the Lord says: Everyone will eat, and there will even be some left over!”

And when they gave it to the people, there was plenty for all and some left over, just as the Lord had promised.

Does this sound familiar to you? Doesn’t this sound like Jesus and his disciples feeding the huge crowd with the lunch of a boy? Yes! But understand this is 400 to 500 years BEFORE Jesus. This miracle came first. Then God did it again in even larger scale. First with 20 barley loaves for 100 people, then 5 loaves and 2 fish for 5,000 men plus women and children.

Here, the people are starving during a famine. They have nothing. They are desperate for food. And God cares about them. God’s care shows up in practical ways through impractical means. He simply takes what is far too little, and he makes it not only enough for the immediate need, he makes it enough for future need. There was leftover! They even had bread to take home with them. Impossible. Miraculous. ONLY GOD!

You have a need. What is that need? Will you let God meet your need in practical ways through impractical means? Your surrendered life and faith will be required here.

This man didn’t have much to offer, but the amount is never what is important to God. God multiplies. God magnifies. God amplifies. God expands. God exceeds.

Whatever was offered, and however big the need, with God, it is enough. Whether 20 loaves for 100 people, or 5 loaves & 2 fish for 5,000, the numbers are not important. The needs are important, and God meets those needs. Regardless of the numbers. Regardless of the supply. It’s all God’s miraculous work which we cannot understand.

How sad it would have been for this man with the 20 loaves of bread to have not offered them because they seemed insignificant. And how sad would it be for you to miss out on the saving grace of Jesus because you’re just one of billions. Trust God can and will work this all out.

What is God showing us with these repeated miracles on unimaginable scales? I believe he’s showing us to take the limits off! God is unlimited. He can take what is far too little and make more than enough. He can provide today and he can do it again tomorrow. He can meet your need and the needs of countless others with the tinniest supply. He can save you and he can save them without your ability to understand it, reason it, estimate it or control it.

This is faith. This is surrender. This is what relationship with our unlimited God looks like.

You will forever be in a place of never being able to understand how he does it … but you’ll be invited right into the middle of the miraculous. When you trust in and act on the promises of God, you will see them fulfilled.
