How Big Is Your God?

Is He Big Enough?

By Maiden Princess

                       

            “And looking at them Yeshua (Jesus) said to them, ‘With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’” Matthew 19:26

 

            My family and I have been pondering lately the lack of hope present in so many people.  Today at our Fellowship gathering we were talking about some recent suicides that had taken place around our area.  How sad that people are willing to kill themselves because they feel that no one loves them, that is there no hope for them, that there is nothing left to live for.  These kind of things are running rampant on the streets of our cities. This shouldn’t be happening.  It clearly shows that our effectiveness as children of the King is seriously lacking! 

The problem lies in the fact that we are Believers don’t live with hope.  We don’t even live in joy no matter what the economy is, whether we like our President or not, we don’t truly trust God to provide for us no matter what.  If we truly believed that our God is as great and as big as we say He is, why aren’t our lives showing it?  If we have no hope, no joy, no love; then who can the people in the world turn to for an example?  How are we any different from the world? We just go through life saying we trust God and saying He’s great but not really believing it.  What is gonna take to open our eyes?

            My God is big enough to bring my brother to his knees and bring him back home. My God is big enough to provide for my family even if my Dad loses his job or we have to move.  My God is big enough to orchestrate the perfect plan and the perfect place for me to meet my future husband. My God is big enough to tackle healthcare reform, abortion issues, homeschooling rights, and all the other issues this nation views as important.  My God is big enough.  My God is big enough to let me decide if I want to trust Him to handle these issues or if I am gonna take them into my own hands and try to reform them in my own power.

So am I going to trust an all-powerful all knowing God?  Am I going to believe that He is big enough to handle my problems, as well as carry the world in His hands?  Because if I believe it, if you believe it; it’s going to change the way we live!  It’s going to change the world.  It’s time to stand up and live fearlessly, committing all into the capable hands of our Maker and the Sustainer of our universe.  It’s time to put all of our worries and anxieties behind us and live like we have a God who’s gonna take good care of us no matter what.  It’s time to show the world what a difference it makes when your life is surrendered to the LORD! 

            How Great Is Our God by Chris Tomlin is a very popular song and lots of people love it.  I am one of them.  We sing about how great God is, yet we don’t live it.  Today is the day to put the voice of Satan playing in our minds behind us, and live only for the glory of the LORD with the child-like faith that our Father will provide for us and allow only what is for our good in our lives.  It’s time to live like we serve a BIG GOD!  We do!!!  NOTHING is impossible with Him!

So, how big is your God?  Mine is big enough to handle everything the world has to offer, including my life.  So just sit back, relax, and rest in the knowledge that God has it all under control. 

 

Seeking His Wisdom,

Aug. 15, 2009 - OUR GOD IS GREAT!!

Posted by Rosalie
hey Maiden Princess
Great post, very inspiring and encouraging. It was a great reminder to me, that I don't have to worry (Matthew 6) and that I need to live a life full of HIS joy, no matter what. My Pastor said not too long ago that we always need to be praying expecting God to do something and that too often we just pray, to say that we're praying about it and we're not really expecting God to do anything. That is so true, unfortunately. So, I am praying for you and your family and I KNOW God will answer. Prayful and thoughtful, Rosalie

Very good post! I used, like how Rosalie said, without hope, more to say that we are praying. God used Jonathan and the whole situation with his kidneys to show me that nothing is impossible with Him. Now I know that our God is big enough to do ANYTHING!!! From the very smallest thing to the very biggest thing. He is so AWESOME. He fulfills that word perfectly! Awe inspiring!

In HIM

About Me

“Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications! Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness!” Psalm 143:1 Dear brothers and sisters in the LORD, I have felt called to head up a nation-wide day of prayer called “United We Kneel” the 3rd of each month. It is a day for teenagers around the world to fall on their knees and unite in prayer before our Father, beseeching Him to bring our nation back to Him. How far you take it is up to you. You can fast all day, you can get all your immediate friends together for a prayer meeting, you can put flyers up all over your town or city, or you can just take time throughout the day to pray with a humbled and sincere heart. Whatever you choose to do, nothing is too big or too small to escape the LORD’s notice. Will you take a stand? Will you kneel with us on the 3rd?
