God in a Box? What sized box do you think suits Him?
"An ark? But it's never rained before."
"We'll trap ‘em at the Red Sea!"
"Virgins don't have babies!"
"You can roll the stone in place now. That's the last we'll see of Him."
The historical record of Scripture demonstrates again and again that God is not bound by our expectations. We can't always predict what He will do.
From The God of Surprises by Paul Thigpen Discipleship Journal Issue #31 January/February 1986
Consider just a few of these "famous last words" we might have heard from characters in the Bible:"An ark? But it's never rained before."
"We'll trap ‘em at the Red Sea!"
"Virgins don't have babies!"
"You can roll the stone in place now. That's the last we'll see of Him."
The historical record of Scripture demonstrates again and again that God is not bound by our expectations. We can't always predict what He will do.
