Limiting God

I had a great conversation last night with a friend on facebook about the way we as individuals and even Christians for that matter limit what our God can do.

This is what William Barclay had to say about limiting God:
“When we listen to men planning and arguing and thinking aloud, we get the impression of a vast number of things in this world which are known to be desirable but dismissed as impossible. Men spend the greater part of their lives putting limitations on the power of God. Faith is the ability to lay hold on that grace which is sufficient for all things in such a way that the things which are humanly impossible become divinely possible. With God all things are possible, and, therefore, the word impossible has no place in the vocabulary of the Christian and of the Christian Church.”

It seems so crazy that we tend to want to control what it is God can do? We have this tendency to think that we have God all figured out both inside and out saying "I don't think so God, that's not what it's about!" We also have this tendency to think and say out loud, "That's not the way we sing that song or that's not the way you should talk to God."

Now pardon me for a minute when I say that is just ridiculous to think that there are people in our world that operate on that mentality. God calls us and says "With man nothing is possible but with God anything is possible."

What are some of the most impossible things you can think of?
Here are a few mostly impossible things I ran across and thought of that might surprise you and yet add a good laugh too.
