"No people can rise higher than the God they believe in and worship"
We can only unleash our God given potential as we let God out of the box and stop limiting him by our ideals we hold about him.
Our Greatness is anchored to God's greatness!
I recently heard a minister ask the question:
"Would we believe in God if we didn't have a Bible?"
He was not trying to get rid of the Bible but was attempting to show us that God is much bigger than the Bible or our beliefs about Him. Now before you take this the wrong way let me be clear....I LOVE THE BIBLE!!! but I do not worship the Bible. I worship God. I understand that God is much bigger than what I know about him.
Most of the Saints and Heroes of the Faith did their great exploits without the written scripture. They simply lived out a faith in Almighty God. When we have greater faith in our religion, our creeds, our beliefs we make God in our image instead of allowing Him to reveal himself.
In the last few years I have allowed my faith to take me outside of the Box. I have found that God hasn't changed and in fact many times He has shown me things in scripture that I would never had seen in my old limited type of faith.
I have discovered it is a healthy faith that has questions and that allows growth. Someone might warn...ok careful that is dangerous.....but I would ask this question......if I am seeking Truth with my Faith in God then isn't God trustworthy to lead me into truth. 1 John 2:27
As we allow God to reveal himself to us...we too will rise above where we were...
