February 07 - How Big is God?

The ax head floated. 2 Kings 6:7.
And the sun stood still. Joshua 10:13.
For this God is our God for ever and ever. Psalm 48:14.

How big is your God? Does he fit into the little box that you've designed for him? Someone wise once said, "God created man in his own image, and then man returned the favor." Don't let your limited concept of God limit his work in your life. Read the Word; ponder the God you meet in its pages. Let him be the awesome, almighty God of the universe. Be amazed that this God, our God is concerned with our every moment Thou dost know my when I sit down and when I rise up; Thou dost understand my thought from afar. Thou dost scrutinize my path and my lying down, And art intimately acquainted with all my ways. (Psalm 139:2-3) and has made provision for our every need. (But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).

This God, our God is the God of the impossible (a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son), the improbable (the fish . . . vomited out Jonah on the dry land) and the downright hard to believe (he hath made us accepted in the beloved). What is it that you need to trust this God, our God for today . . . for next week . . . for our church? Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me (Jeremiah 32:27)? Are you tempted to believe God's work is in the past? Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). If you have ever seen God's hand at work in your life or in his church, you can be certain he is still at work. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6).

Why does he do this? Why does he bind himself to us with his promises? Why does he stoop so low? so that we . . . might be to the praise of his glory (Ephesians 1:12). How amazing it is that we could bring glory to the almighty God of the universe!
