You're thinking too small. The traditional Judeo-Christian God clearly exists outside of normal reality. His abilities exceed science. It's impossible for us to rationalize power on God's level, because we have nothing to compare it with. I'm sure He could make 2+2=6. He wrote the rules. He wrote logic that follows or questions the rules. He wrote the mind that has the logic...etc. As far as I know, His only 'limitation' is that he loves His creation and is devoted to it, and thus, us.
Limit simply means bounds. We don't have to use something familiar to compare God's limitless power to because the limit is moot.
Systematic Theology was a really good read, but Louis Berkhof is not the ultimate authority on God.
The only rational explaination is the irrational one. God exists before and beyond logic and knowledge as we know it. He exists above science.
