There I am, sitting in the shopping mall food court, my body tense and my stomach knotted over looming work deadlines. As I unwrap my burger and take a bite, people rush around me, fretting over their own tasks. How limited we all are, I think to myself—limited in time, energy, and capacity.

I consider writing a new to-do list and prioritize the urgent tasks, but as I pull out a pen another thought enters my mind: a thought of One who is infinite and unlimited, who effortlessly accomplishes all that He desires.

This God, Isaiah says, can measure the oceans in the hollow of His hand and collect the dust of the earth in a basket (Isaiah 40:12). He names the stars of the heavens and directs their path (v. 26), knows the rulers of the world and oversees their careers (v. 23), considers islands mere specks of dust and the nations like drops in the sea (v. 15). “To whom will you compare me?” He asks (v. 25). “The Lord is the everlasting God,” Isaiah replies. “He will not grow tired or weary” (v. 28).

Stress and strain are never good for us, but on this day they deliver a powerful lesson. The unlimited God is not like me. He accomplishes everything He wishes. I finish my burger, and then pause once more. And silently worship.

My friend and welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread but it was shared in Boise and I've titled today's reading unlimited there.

I am sitting in the shopping mall food court.

My body tense in my stomach most of the looming work deadlines, as I am up my burger and take a bite. People rush around me fretting over their own tasks. How limited we hola, I think to myself limited in time, energy and capacity. I consider writing a new to-do list and prioritizing the urgent tasks. But as I pull out a pen. Another thought enters my mind afford one who is infinite and unlimited who effortlessly accomplishes all that he desires this God.

Isaiah says can measure the oceans in the whole of his hand and collect the dust of the earth in the Bosket he names the stars of the heavens and directs their path knows the rules of the world and oversees their careers considers islands mere specks of dust in the nations like drops in the sea, to whom you can pay me. He asks in Isaiah 25 the Lord is the everlasting God Isaiah replies, he will not grow tired or weary stress and strain the never good for us but on this day, they deliver a powerful lesson. The unlimited guard is not like me.

He accomplishes everything he wishes. I finish my burger and then pulls once more and silently worship today's Scripture reading is from Isaiah chapter 40 verses 21 to 28 do you not know have you not heard has not been told you from the beginning. Have you not understood since the earth was founded.

He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth and its people are like grasshoppers.

He stretches out the heavens like a canopy and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

He brings princes Del Norte and reduces the rules of this world nothing.

No sooner as I planted no sooner of a southern. No sooner do they take root in the ground that he blows on them and they with her and a whirlwind sweeps away like chaff, to whom you can pay me or who is my equal. Since the holy one, lift up your eyes and look to the heavens, who created always.

He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls for each of them by name because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

Why do you complain Jacob, why do you say Israel my way is hidden from the Lord. My cause is disregarded by my God, do you not know have you not heard the Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. You will not grow tired or weary. It is understanding no one can fathom. Let's pray Lord you are the unlimited one it will accomplish all that you've promised you will not limited by time or energy or capacity in all the troubles of the world in everything that stresses and strains us. We praise you for being the mighty one who is at work. Lord help us to rest and that truth today. In Jesus name we pray. It amen. Today's encouragement was provided by Our Daily Bread ministries
