@Livingwater Study4B How do we limit Him? (Scripture Portion: Psalm 78:25-41) DAYS OF HEAVEN UPON EARTH From this psalm notice all the ways in which the Israelites sinned against God and displeased Him. The complete list is a long one, but notice the following seven ways in which we also limit Him: We limit God by our DISOBEDIENCE. Look at verse 10. The one fundamental condition of blessing in the lives of God’’s people is obedience, which simply means gladly and unquestionably doing what God says. How do we stand with regard to this?

Perhaps the most astounding statement appears in verse 41 (KJV), where we are told that by their sins and follies God’’s people actually ‘’limited the Holy One of Israel’’. But can man limit God? Can the church limit His purpose and intention? Yes! Within the context of this psalm we see that these people did limit Him –- and you and I may do the same. In verse 41 two great principles emerge: God is ready and longing to do great thi
