Then getting on that airplane shouldn’t be the cause for so much worry and stress in my life. I believe God is who He says He is, but do I trust Him completely? I’m working through the difference between faith and trust. God has used None Like Him (and many other scriptures and tools) to open my eyes to see I’ve been putting limits on Him.
Thank you!Īs we prepare to board an airplane later this month for a mission trip to Panama, I’ve been asking God to help me overcome my anxiety of flying.
Any purchase you may make helps to cover the costs of this site. When the opportunity came up recently to review Jen Wilkin’s book, None Like Him – 10 Ways God is Different From Us (and that’s a good thing), I eagerly said “yes!” *Please note this post contains affiliate links. Our limited minds struggle to grasp the unlimitedness of God.
If we’re going to be honest, I think a lot of us (myself included) put God in a box. 10/10, would recommend.Do you really, truly see Him as all-knowing?Ĭan you wrap your brain around his omnipresence? Each chapter ends with reflection questions and a call to prayer. It's a call to love His law, His ten words, and let them transform us more into His likeness. It all starts with the worship of God alone and builds beautifully in a practical call to love God with our whole hearts, souls, minds, and strengths - and then to love those made in His image as we love ourselves. She offers the hope of a future where "things we have exalted will be cast down to the level of their real worth" - and an exhortation to cast them down now, giving "undivided allegiance to the God of our costly deliverance." She calls us to worship with single-minded allegiance, being conformed in thought, word, and deed into the image of our God, not the image of the enemy. Jen considers each word carefully, bringing out new depths from old commands, calling us to changed hearts, not just moralistic deism. She brings the text alive with context and home with thoughtful questions. She opens up the ten commandments, making them accessible in a whole new way, and calling each reader (listener) closer in to the heart of God. Her delight in God is evident in her work and this work is no exception. She has a gift for communication in both written and spoken word. Jen Wilkin is one of my favorite teachers.
