If you get a chance, google "The Awe Factor of God" by Francis Chan - it is a video that is part of his first book called "Crazy Love" which I highly recommend, it will not only leave you with a amazing view of the love of our Father but it will leave you changed in a better way than you are now.
Time and time again we put God in a box, that He is only able to do this much, or that much, when in reality there is no box for God, we shouldn't even begin to try to consider making a box for Him because it is just utterly impossible to place a box over a being that created EVERYTHING. Consider this: If He created the world, He created you and I, He was there before and will be there after, don't you think that God has no limit? That He can do anything He wants to do? And yet what He chose to do was to save you and I, who by our human nature still tries to force this God into a box that can't contain Him.
But if you are still adamant on God being in a box take the idea Francis Chan brings to the table called the "Awe Factor of God". If we take a view of the world, at 10 Kilometers you would be able to see the Curvature of the earth, continue upwards to 100 Kilometers at this point you'd be 1/4 of the way to the space station (You'd be considered an astronaut if you made it here). Continue forward to 100,000 Kilometers, you have no left the earth and are 1/4 of the way to the moon. 1 Million Kilometers you can barely see the earth and have just barely past the moon. 100 Million Kilometers you FINALLY pass the sun and cal see all the planets in our solar system.
Now just to 10,000,000,000,000,000 Kilometers and you no longer can see our planet, no one even knows we exist and the Sun is just another star amongst a few here and there. Jump to 1,000 lightyears away an the sun is no longer recgonizable - it is just another star amongst a cluster of stars in our milky way. Continue on to 10 million lightyears and our milky way is now admist a few other galaxies in the universe, the Sun? the Planets? No one even knows their there. Jump to 100 Million Lightyears and our Milky way disappears amongs the cluster of thousands upon thousands of Galaxy's. The Universe doesn't stop here, but our telescopes fail to go past this point.
So next time you try to put God in a box think about this, for a God that created all of this, created a universe that seems never ending, maybe, God shouldn't be placed in a box, maybe we are showing our truth belief in God if we try to place Him in such a box to begin with. So continue to consider if God created the world, created you and I, if He was there before and will be there after, would such a God have a limit? Don't you consider that God can do anything He wants to do?
