Limitless Ways
August 20, 2009 // By: Bob Hamp // 3 Comments
I have discovered that I don’t have much to say really, I just have lots of ways to say it. This week, I topped one hundred posts since I began “Thinking Differently”. Recently when I sit down to write, I have these great ideas, and then I begin to realize I have already written about them. It dawned on me, I only have a few things to say, but it seems to me that there are limitless ways to say them.
God is not complicated…He is just eternal. Eternal not just in duration, but in scope. God is One Thing. He is Love. Now how many ways can you say it? The simplicity of the One Thing can be overshadowed by all the ways to express it, and all the fanfare (and confusion) that surrounds it.
I only have a few things to say. But I plan to say them in endless ways the rest of my life, but here they are.
1. God and His Kingdom are greater and different than we think: If it is possible for us to “Get it” then He is limited and we are gods.
2. Our “Ways of Thinking” are a greater obstacle to knowing God than the content of our thinking.
3. The Invisible world functions in a different way than we expect. We must “Think differently” to interact with it. We must utilize different senses to take it in, and different thought processes to comprehend it.
4. Only God can: Well, you name it. this is a pretty big list. Only God can create, sustain, redeem, resurrect, empower, etc. Pretty much everything that real living is made of, comes from God. This whole “eternity and time” thing is really about God unfolding a story that expresses His nature. We just get in on a great deal.
5. Our Life is part of a much bigger picture: Really this is another way to say we must think differently. See, I am already out of “things” to say, and on to new ways to say them. Part of thinking differently is perspective. Look at your life from the outside. Now step back. Now step back. Now step back. Rinse, lather , repeat.
If I counted right, I have about four and a half things to say, but I plan to keep saying them in limitless WAYS.

Just happen to me. It’s like I was trying to understand my self like an expectator(me upgrade), then the untinkable happen. I was able to see how much more I was able to accomplish. I just heard Jared A. saying: “EXPENDING OUR IMAGINATION STARING AT HIM”. Even if I know Jesus as my Savior and Lord just ’bout almost 3 years, some days is like I want to put on the top of my head a Big Fat Mirror to just said what He is. But the true is that regarding of what season Im in (whit Him) He always is there to use us; even in the untinkable. That’s why I loved number 5 you wrote. He has His ways (higher),but…is always fun. definition of fun?…just Tune In!
3. The Invisible world functions in a different way than we expect. We must “Think differently” to interact with it. We must utilize different senses to take it in, and different thought processes to comprehend it.
If you’ve written a blog post on this particular subject matter, I would love for you to point me to it. If not, well then…I’d love to read a much more expanded version of this point.
Watcha think???
For me: “Look at your life from the outside. Now step back. Now step back. Now step b-OUCH!!!”
