Illness and God-in-a-box

Well, I am sick as a dog, but God is still good! As you can see by my picture, I am feeling a little on the loopy side. I took a couple cold pills but they don't seem to be doing much of anything but making me sleepy. Oh well, such is life... Anyway, I am praising God in the midst of illness, and I hope that whatever you may be going through isn't bigger than your view of God at the moment. Our God is ALWAYS bigger than we can ever comprehend, it is only in our mind that He becomes small.

1 Kings 8:27
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You, how much less this house which I have built!

It takes a carpenter to build a house out of wood, but we all can build houses, or boxes if you will, in our minds. I have in the past built boxes that I though would hold our God. Much like the old TV show I dream of Genie, I thought I could keep God in this box and bring him out when I needed something. I say no more boxes! God isn't going to dwell there anyway, so why waste my time building them?
