OPEN HEAVEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: THURSDAY FEBRUARY 19TH 2026
THEME: THE UNLIMITED GOD I
MEMORISE: Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? Isaiah 43:13
READ: Psalms 2:1-12
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
MESSAGE
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?
Jeremiah 32:27
God likes to ask questions, and we see several instances of this in the Bible. When He asks a question, however, it isn't because He doesn't know the answer, but because He wants to reveal something about Himself. God asked the question in the Scripture above because He wanted to let you know that He is unlimited.
The word 'unlimited' is a combination of two words: 'un' and 'limited’. 'Un' is a prefix of Latin and Greek origin that simply means 'not', while to be limited is to be restricted. Therefore, when we say that God is unlimited, it means that He is sovereign and has absolutely no restrictions.
The devil limits people by placing an embargo on their lives that says, "Thus far can you go and no further." For instance, if someone is lame, he or she might be able to crawl but cannot stand, walk, or run; hence, the fellow's movement is limited. God is not limited and cannot be hindered; He cannot be stopped from doing what He wants. Our God, the I AM THAT I AM, cannot be limited by anyone or anything.
When God wants to work, no one can hinder Him; when He wants to create Something, He can use what seems like nothing to produce a masterpiece. When He saw how chaotic and dark the earth was in the beginning, He didn't wring His hands in frustration and despair. Instead, He said, "Let there be Light!" (Genesis 1:3). As thick as the darkness was, it fled at the sound of God's voice. Whenever opposing forces gather, He who sits in the heavens laughs because His unlimited power can be displayed without question (Psalm 2:1-4).
In today's Bible reading, we see how the nations and heathen kings gathered to oppose God, but in the end, they failed. When the enemy stacks one opposition after another against you, that is time to laugh because you have a Father who is truly unlimited. If you call on His name and put your total trust in Him, He will work His wonders in your life, regardless of the nature of the opposition or the number of enemies you might be facing. Beloved, you have no reason to be intimidated by the devil's threats and obstacles that seem insurmountable; call on the One who is truly invincible, and you will overcome everything that stands in your way.
PRAYER POINT
Unlimited God, please help me to fight my battles and grant me victory on all sides, in Jesus' name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 30-32

HYMN 16: ‘TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS
1. ’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
And to know, “Thus saith the Lord!”
o Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
2. Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
’Neath the healing, cleansing flood!
3. Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.
4. I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.
