Deep and Wide

7"Can you find out the deep things of God?
    Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?
8It is higher than heaven—what can you do?
    Deeper than Sheol—what can you know?
9Its measure is longer than the earth
    and broader than the sea.

Job 11:7-9 (ESV)

As Job is listening to his three friends, he gets some good advice and he gets some not-so-good advice. His friend Zophar is helpful here in reminding Job of the ifiniteness of God. I hate to say it, but this is something that I need to be reminded of. How often do I try and put God in a box? How often does my doubt and unbelief limit what I think God can do in my life? I need to be reminded of His depth. I need to be reminded that He has no limit. There is nothing I can do to limit God. It is good that God is beyond limit. It is good for me to remember that!
