GOD TRANSCENDS

In Romans 12:2, we learn that the transformation we all need and can experience stems from the “renewing” of our minds. How true. My personal story really does confirm it…as I’m sure yours does.

Think about it…the change from defeat to victory, doubt to confidence, wrong desires to right ones, despair to hope all involve a renewed/different kind of thinking about ourselves, circumstances, and God.

One of the areas of thinking that has really helped me continue to forge forward on my spiritual journey when I apply it is the truth that “God transcends.” He is above, beyond, and outside of my (our) circumstances and world. This is why, as Luke 1:37 tells us, “nothing is impossible with God.”

Here’s how it helps me on a daily basis, (again I need to say…when I’m actually applying it)…

When I’m facing challenging circumstances, (such as my own limitations, shortage of resources, or even the lack of opportunities), I seek to focus on, pray through, and meditate over this life-changing truth…God transcends. He transcends my limitations, circumstances, resources, opportunities, challenges, and roadblocks. He transcends my impossibilities. And, in case you need me to remind you, He transcends yours as well.

If you’re having a tough time in any area of your life and you want to experience genuine change, you need to allow this truth to “renew” your mind. I believe committing Ephesians 3:20 to memory is a great place to start. “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…”
