Our God is the Creator of all that ever has or will exist.

God’s not save in the sense that we have him in a box, predictable and measured. We don’t get to control how God operates. No magical formula assures the way God works.

~~Sheila Walsh

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

Our God is the Creator of all that ever has or will exist. We can’t put him in a box. We don’t get to determine how he operates. We might wish to; we certainly would like to be able to tell God exactly how to run the world, but that’s not our role We are the created ones.

That’s precisely why we will never fully understand everything that happens in our world and in our lives. We wish some magical formula would make sense of it all, but God, who sees the beginning from the end, often surprises us. His answers go beyond what we even could imagine. His blessings are more than we could request. His love is more than we can take in.

If God were safe and predictable, then he would not be worth worshiping.

Be glad your God is not safe, but that he does love you.  

Prayer for Meditation

I never want to put you in a box. Show yourself big in my life.  

Scripture for Meditation

With whom, then, will you compare God? To what image will you liken him? As for an idol, a metalworker casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold and fashions silver chains for it. A person too poor to present such an offering selects wood that will not rot; they look for a skilled worker to set up an idol that will not topple. Isaiah 40:18-22
