“The Greatness of God”

“Lift up your eyes on high and see:

who created these?

He who brings out their host by number,

calling them by name;

by the greatness of his might

and because he is strong in power,

not one is missing.”

Isaish 40:26

“Where were you when I laid the foundation

of the earth?”

Job 38:4

A faith so small for a God so big. So many times I fail like Job to remember that we serve a God who “laid the foundation of the earth.” The God we pray to knows us by name while I can scarcely remember what I ate for breakfast much less the names of all the people I’ve met in my lifetime. But God does! He is intimately concerned with and about us. From the number of hairs on our heads (Matthew 10:30) to the burdens in our hearts (Psalm 55:22). I often have trouble fathoming a love so deep and so wide. However, our job is not to understand it, but to abide in it. (John 15:4) To give glory, praise and adoration to the God who remains constant and true to His promises. (I Corinthians 10:31, Hebrews 10:23, Hebrews 13:8) Our infallible human minds naturally try to box God in – surely He can’t or He won’t help me. That is the voice of Satan. God’s voice says – try me, give it to me because I AM. (Exodus 3:14) Period. That’s it. God is the Alpha and the Omega – the beginning and the end. (Revelation 1:8) He is the one who laid the foundations of the earth and yet is concerned about the grass and the birds. (Matthew 6:25-34) So go ahead, lay it on Him – all your doubts, your fears, your worries.  He’s got this!

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

John 3:16
