Do you remember when you were little and the funniest thing about getting large toys or a new refrigerator was playing in the large box that came with it? I certainly do! It was always a lot of fun. One small part of it I just recently thought of though is no matter how big your imagination you were always bound by the box. If I sat down in the box and tried to fly in my Rocketship to the moon I could pretend but that box never actually lifted to the sky. If I needed more room to move I had to get outside the box because it had boundaries. My imagination or what I could dream was always defined by the size of the box. If it was a larger box of course it was a car or rocket. If it was a medium size box it might have been a stove(I have older sisters give me a break). Smaller box usually just stayed a box.
Now think about how you view God and what he is capable of. I can speak for myself my God has definitely be defined by the size of the box I put him in. There is no question of that. There would be so many things he could do for others or even for me, but certain other things that just wouldn't fit in the box. That box wasn't making in trips to the moon for me. And then I realized that I had giving up childish things a long time ago. (1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. )
I realized I my dreams and wants didn't belong in a box anymore. The God I serve has no boundaries, so he will not live in a box. Picking to go on the World Race definitely would not have lived if I tried to contain it in a box. Prayers and provision have come from so many different areas. Praise God for that. The things he has preprared me, my team, my squad to do definitely would servive in a box. How did I ever or should I say how dare I surely again but something outside of boundaries in a box?
I am so blessed to serve a God, stand with a Son like Jesus Christ that died on a cross and tore the veil (Matthew 27:50-51 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split) The chains that bound us, that kept us from being able to fully use the power of God for His Glory had been broken. I feel so blessed to be getting ready to leave to do his work with full knowledge of what I am capable of when I trust in His Spirit within me.
So I challenge everyone that will read this to declare:He has no boundaries, so we shall not put him in a box. There is no point in trying anyway it can't contain him. (Matthew 28:2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.) So when you have a God sized a dream always remember it will not grow in a box but if you give it up to God it has no bounds.
