God's economy vs man's economy

I need to start this post out with  some truth, God is above man!

Simple, isn't it? If that is TRUTH then we will launch off from that point. God is hard to grasp at times, He doesn't do things in a certain way and is not concerned about doing things the "right" way. I believe that God wants to ROCK us on a daily basis. 

Why if He is moving do we so often hold back His hand? I keep having this vision of God's hand out stretched and out of His hand are GREAT things, literally blessings are pouring out of His hand non stop. Yet we (as a church) keep closing His hand up, curling His fingers back and saying "It hasn't been done that way before, this is not the right way to do things!" God's fingers curl back and the blessings begin to clog up and shoot out the other way away from us.... The blessings don't stop, but they don't get to be used by us... Hmmm

This I can't stop thinking about. I want to challenge us as a body to look at Christ in a little different light, just for a second let's not limit Him. Just for a a moment let us not hold GOD to man's constraints. We know that God has ALL, he is not really concerned with money at all. Money is nothing to God, He is above money. We are confined by money and amounts and needs! God is not limited by time, we are the ones that have time issues and dates and deadlines. God is not concerned with following any set way to do things, He is God! He can do things however He wants to. We have proper ways of doing things, right ways, the way it has always been done before. 

Don't we see in the Bible that the Lord didn't ever follow a set way of doing things? He is full of variety and freshness. The word new comes to mind. We know in Lamentations His mercies are new every morning, He is faithful. We know that His ways are not our ways. Then why do we curl back His fingers by simply not accepting His newness?

God is doing new and fresh works everyday. We need to recognize God's hand and just allow Him to do His thing. It may look different! Maybe no one has ever done anything like this before??? Maybe people say you should maybe change what you are doing and do it differently because this way won't work. If God does the work it will work, He cannot fail. I have watched God do plenty of unbelievable things through people in ways no one would have thought would work.

I am praying in my own life that I do not curl back His fingers, that I will move with His Spirit and recognize His movement. That I will not constrain God's hand by my own fear and limits. He is limitless, He is above all and can do all. His way is the only way. I want to live in the midst of that!

Blessings,
