God is Versatile June 2, 2009

I’m so Americanized. Especially mentality. And it limits my understanding and awareness of the fullness of God. He has no ethnicity. He isn’t bound by language or culture. God is not confined by humanness like us.
God can seek out and find and change people living in extreme poverty in a city I’ve never heard of in a country I can’t even plot on a map. He can and does seek out and find and change lives of people who are extremely intelligent and/or wealthy. He can do the same for those with unprecedented talents and skills. Same with politicians and invalids.
God is not hindered by our past history, experiences, mistakes, beliefs or family structure. No one is untouchable due to their successes and social status. No one is outside of God’s reach.
The point is God’s endless versatility. However, I mentally limit God to what I know, where I live, what I’m familiar with. I forget He saves Chinese people and Latin American people. People in remote places and in highly populated cities around the world. People I’ll never meet or even know exist.
If I could just keep this in mind it would impact my view of God and strengthen my faith. It would challenge my doubts about Him and open my eyes to His character. We all need this awareness because it expands our understanding of God. These are just a few of the reasons He is God, set apart, like no other god or idol. He is unending.
