Am I Tying the Hands of God?

I'm reminded of a passage in Matthew 13:58:

"And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief."

Unbelief and doubt tie the hands of God and keep Him from working on our behalf.

In Psalm 78:40-42 we find the children of Israel, His chosen people, doing the same thing.

"How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy."

What are you believing Him for today? There are no limits to what He can and will do if we will let Him. Are we truly trusting Him... or are we trying to figure everything out our way? He has our every answer, our every need supplied. We have to remember that He is in control... remember that He is the one who has delivered us in times past and made a way where there seemed to be no way. Let's reflect on that and believe Him once again for even greater things NOW!
