I know you have probably heard the term “putting God in a box” kind of funny if you really stop and think about it, trying to put God in a box because he won’t fit. However we all do it to one extent or another and sometimes we do it with good intentions. For instance when you pray for a loved one to be healed of a physical aliment and they die. If they trusted in Christ for them and not you how much better off are they now? Not only is their condition cured they are in Heaven with Jesus. If you struggle with people in your life and you pray that God will give you the strength and the patience to deal with them, take God out of the box and pray for their salvation. He has the power to do that and how much better off would you be not to mention those people. We all marvel at out imaginative the human mind is but God can do a bazillion times more than would could ever ask Him for or even dream of. The ironic thing is He chooses to do a lot of those things through us. We just have to be willing and obedient to do those things and then give the glory to Him and not ourselves.
Ephesians 3:20
20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
