know no limits (by Jeff)

But I will hope continually, and will praise You yet more and more. My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness Your salvation all the day, For I do not know limits.                                 
                                                                                                                                     Psalm 71:14-15
  We have not written for a while because we liked the last blog so much and we hadn't had time to sit down and write another one that was comparable. So go back and check that one out if you haven't seen it. It was called the "Unhappy Bride". But the verses above were in my Bible reading this morning and I think the message in them is very applicable right now for myself and really any believer in Christ.
 
   God is infinite (immeasurably or inconceivably great or extensive : inexhaustible, subject to no limitation or external determination)  David the writer of many of the Psalms, here, wrote that he always had hope, that he would praise God more and more and tell of His righteousness and salvation all the time because he knew the nature of God. He said "I know no limits." He trusted God and did what He said regardless of the difficulty level. Faith is simply acting on God's Word and it's all over David's life. God used him to expand the borders of Israel farther than anyone else ever did. When he looked at the face of the beast Goliath he saw right through him to the borders of the land that God had given to Israel. So he went and claimed the land that the giant was standing on. He was a "a man after My own heart, who will do all my will" said God.
   This is my destiny as well as yours, in Christ. That we would know no limits. The world map above has a darkened area that has been called the 10/40 window or the unoccupied lands. There are 4.43 billion people living there and the vast majority of them are untouched by the gospel. We have been told to go into all the world, make disciples of all nations, preach the gospel to every creature and that we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us because greater is He Who is in us than He who is in the world. We know all this is true. But for some reason we know too many limits to simply obey Jesus in this. Maybe we have become too smart for our own good. I am speaking to myself. All the missions methods, the church stuff, the culturally sensitive issues on top of my own complicated brain and struggles with my own sins and failures have been more than enough to stop me in many ways at a border, each day, at some limit that I have allowed to be set to keep me from all the will of God.
   God help me to "know no limits". Let us in Your church today be a people after Your own heart, who will do all Your will regardless of the difficulty. Let us go in the dark areas, let us charge the gates of hell with the love of heaven. It is only by Your grace that we can go to the ends of the abundant life that You have promised. So Lord let us go with You and we will know no limits because You don't.

 This is a picture of some Bible college students with believers from our fellowship in Malisheve. Pray these young men will know no limits because of their relationship with God. Pray that God would use them and that many more would be saved and know the love of Christ that passes knowledge.
