A Great Big God

How BIG is your God ?

Sometimes I really do not believe how we undersize God. We short change Him. We totally forget just who He really is. We forget just what He has done. In short we virtually discredit Him by our lack of belief and faith.

I hear some of you saying, “Now wait a minute there buddy. . . . . .” OK let me try to justify some of my reasons by telling you just a fraction of what He has done and is still doing day by day.

Genesis 1 – God created heaven and earth – right ?? This little speck in the universe, the place we call earth, is one amazing place. Did you know that there are over 9000 species of birds; there are millions of species of insects, and the various animal groups, and millions more of plants mosses & lichens. Did you think God, when he planned and created all of these, was a small god?

Then there’s the heavens. We can fit 1.3million of our wee earth into the sun, which can still burn us badly despite being 93million miles away. Our sun is a very small star – one of countless billions of stars spread over countless billions of light years of distance. When God created all of them – did you still think He was a small god?

We have a great big God – the Lord God Almighty is His Name. Is there anything to hard for Him to do? Is there anything too complex for Him to understand? How can there be? He is the author and creator of everything including us. We are ‘fearfully and wonderfully made’. He has completely revealed Himself to us throughout history and particularly in the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s Son, who died for our sins and to bring us back to our creator.

His promises are sure – He wrote a whole book for us to follow and understand Him. His Word, as we call it, even tells us that His promises are sure. Just one example is Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?”

So why do we still doubt Him?

Why are our prayers spoken more in hope than in belief? “Oh maybe He’ll answer but maybe He won’t!” “Oh I do hope God hears us!” “I can’t see that He will do it – it’s too much to ask!” What sort of faith is that? What is the matter with us?

When we pray we should be expecting God to move. When we pray, we should know that He does hear our prayers and that He does answer us.

Why do we limit our great and Almighty God? He IS the Lord God Almighty. He IS a great big God. STOP making Him any smaller.

My God is a great BIG God – how about yours?
