“He fell asleep…Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased and there was a calm.” ~ Lk. 8:23-24
Jesus was not only every bit God, but wholly man in all respects, excepting sin. When Jesus was weary at the well, His humanity shown through; but when giving the woman living water, that was His Deity shining through. Paul tells us this is dual nature, a great mystery.
Our Lord was never frustrated by His limitations; He took everything in life in stride. Any limitations His humanity brought upon Him, He gave to a limitless God. It did not cause Him any frustration. For example, not knowing the time of His second coming while He was here upon earth. He excelled in those areas He was to excel in, and in any other, He simply left it to an all-wise God.
I find many of the Lord’s people are attempting to be over-achievers. You can always spot them by the one identifying characteristic; they're invariably over-wrought. These people seem to never be content with their own gifts and calling. They apparently have not learned, satisfaction is a great deterrent to frustration. God puts boundaries and limitations on every life, as He says in Job, “Hitherto shalt thou come, and no further.” You can come short of God’s will, but you can also to go past it!
It’s a wise person that’s content with who they are, where they are, and what they're doing. And may I add, the way their doing it!
