I pray that the perception of your mind may be enlightened so you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious riches of His inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power to us who believe, according to the working of His vast strength.

God is both Creator and Sustainer

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Psalm 78:40-43 NKJV
How often they provoked Him in the wilderness, And grieved Him in the desert! Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel. They did not remember His power: The day when He redeemed them from the enemy, When He worked His signs in Egypt, And His wonders in the field of Zoan.
3 Ways We ‘Limit’ God:
- Doubt his desire to bless
- Diminish our expectations
- Disregard what He’s done in the past
