MILLER%u201cSo, I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer%u00a0live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.%u00a0They are darkened in their understanding%u00a0and separated from the life of God%u00a0because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.%u201d Ephesians 4:17-18There are no limits on God. He is unbound by limits. He disregards measurements of any kind. God%u2019s limitlessness underlies all His attributes: His power, His knowledge, His love, and His mercy. No one can measure any aspect of who God is. He is %u201cA God Without Limits.%u201dOn the other hand, we measure everything! Babies are weighed and measured at birth. Packaged food has measurements on it. Our clocks tell us how much time we have until dinner. Our bank accounts tell us how much we can spend. Facebook and Instagram tell us how many friends or followers we have. And during COVID-19, a trip to Kroger or Sam%u2019s told us we could buy %u2014 only ONE box of eggs or ONE package of toilet paper.When we measure things or limit things, we tend to think we have a certain level of control. But if there is anything I have learned in the crisis of COVID-19, we are not in control of anything. Only God of the Bible is immeasurable, unquantifiable, uncontainable and without limits. We are created in the image of God. Being made in His image is what makes us human, and it gives us the ability to reason. Each have an image in our minds of who we are and what we can do. Really, it is called our imagination that enables each of us to use our mind to dream. God gives all of us dreams, blessings, and hopes. And if we don%u2019t allow them to reach its full potential, people won%u2019t receive God%u2019s miracles. Only God is God. The God that we worship is infinite, meaning He is all-knowing! He%u2019s the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last and the beginning and the end. He is %u201cA God Without Limits.%u201dThe Apostle Paul%u2019s letter to the Ephesians talks about instructions for Christian living. It says in Ephesians that %u201cwe are to no longer live as the Gentiles, in the futility of their thinking.%u201d This is because they were worldly people, and they had been darkened in their understanding. So, Paul asked them not to become consumed by the excess of the world but to renew their minds by the Word of God. This will not only change our thinking but also change our attitude. Christian living is not about %u201cworldliness;%u201d it%u2019s about %u201cGodliness.%u201d And we know that %u201cworldliness%u201d and %u201cGodliness%u201d are opposed to each other. Worldliness is centered on self. Godliness is centered on God. Worldliness works for gain. Godliness works for the good of those who seek to do God%u2019s work. Everything you set your mind to do for God can come to pass. Whatever it is %u2014 don%u2019t stop, continue to meditate on His Word, and then watch God work! For He is %u2014 %u201cA God without Limits.%u201dRev. Marion J. Miller is the Senior Pastor of Wesley United Methodist Church, 1201 Thomas V. Bryant Drive, Jeffersonville, Indiana.
