How BIG is your God?

Do you see God as being big enough to deal with your trials?

Are your trials too big for God?

Are your trials too small for God?

How BIG is your God? 

In Genesis chapters 1 and 2 we read of the creation of the world. God created everything by a word and Ex Nihilo - out of nothing. 

Day One: Light was created and light and darkness were divided

Day Two: Firmament (sky) was created and separated from the earth

Day Three: Waters and Land divided and plants created - Land, seas and plants

Day Four: Sun, moon and stars

Day Five: Sea creatures, and birds
Day Six: Every other animal and insects plus humanity
Day Seven: God rested

In six days God created everything we see, not billions, millions, hundreds of thousands, but six days.

All throughout Scripture we see divine miracles occurring: 

An elderly lady giving birth to a son, the parting of the Red Sea, the plagues in Egypt, the sun standing still, widow with the flour and oil, Axe head floating, turning water into wine, healing people, raising the dead, Died and rose again etc 

People disbelieve these miracles including so called Christians, but I'll ask again 

How BIG is your God?

God created the world in six days, when He is all powerful, He could have created it in one day!

He is ALL powerful that every miracle that has ever happened demonstrates God's eternal power and glory. 

The WHOLE Universe sits in the palm of God's hand - THAT is how big God is!

He is ALL eternal - He has no beginning and He has no end, although He does call Himself the Alpha and the Omega; the Beginning and the End - because He started time and space and He will end time and space. 

He is ALL knowing - it doesn't matter how many degrees and doctorates a human has, God will know infinitely more than humans could ever dream of knowing. He gave us the laws of physics, He gave us the chemical elements, He gave us the microscopic amoebas and other miniscule micro-organisms. He gave us Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide - trees emit Oxygen but take in Carbon Dioxide (which we breathe out) - God's design for the world! The bee going into a flower to drink the nectar with the pollen on its tiny body - pollinating the flowers so they produce seeds for more flowers and plants. This is no accident, this is because of God's design for the world. Even the insects we find disgusting have a purpose - flies and the like, clear away the dead and rotting carcasses. Did this suddenly happen by accident? NO, they are God's design to keep the world clean.

When we have trials on our life's journey, do we realise that God cares about us enough to help us with them, help us in them. God has never promised to take away those trials BUT He has promised to be with us in them (Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. - God doesn't say He will take the trial away, but He says that He will be with you)

From birth we have a sin nature within us (babies don't understand sin, but that's another discussion to have) and as we get older that sin seems to manifest itself more and more. Basically sin is rebellion against God - He created us to have a relationship with Him, but because of our rebellious hearts we rebel against Him. In and of ourselves we would never want a relationship with Him, so God in His tender mercies sent His only Son to live the perfect life in obedience to Him and then go to the cross to take the punishment we deserve to have a people for Himself. 

This great and awesome God, came to earth in the form of a man for the salvation of a people. This God who cannot look upon sin because He is holy and righteous, went to the cross to become sin (He was sinless, but all our sins were laid on Him). The wrath of God was burned up on Him, instead of us and our sins were drowned in His blood. 

How B I G is your God?
