How Big Is Your God?

I don’t understand why so many, so called intelligent folks, want to tamper with the Word of God.  My brother was a keeper of little saying that made a heap of sense.   One pertained to a thermos bottle.  Simply stated, ‘You put hot in and it stays hot, and you put cold in it and it stays cold. How do it know?’ 

We always began our parenting classes by telling the troops, “We take our material from the Word of God.”  Invariably, there was one who would announce to the class, “I don’t believe in that stuff!”  To which I would ask, “What stuff don’t you believe in?”  Never could they tell me what they did not believe in.   Point:  The Bible is filled with proven facts.  Every believer should be equipped with these facts.  It is a great way to get a non-believers attention. 

 Power Scripture for Today:  “Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool, Where then is a house you could build for Me? And where is the place that I may rest” (Isa. 66:1).

How big is Your God?    Today’s key verse says the earth is His footstool.  I like that.  God did not just create all that we perceive, and then go fishing.  I wonder, has there ever been a greater arrogance of man than the global warming- climate control issue?  The Psalmist wrote that God sits in the heavens and laughs (2:4).    It also says that “He scoffs at them” (Psalm 2).  I believe He is scoffing at the Obama’s, Gore’s, the Pope and others for their continued deceptiveness on this issue.  I wonder if all the adverse weather we are having might be God’s way of saying, “Hey, wake up, I control the weather.”

Bill Koenig, a White House Correspondent, did research and then wrote the book Eye to Eye. It list more than fifty tragic events that have occurred when our Presidents made overtures to push Israel into a deeper hole than they are today.  It seems to me that, if they believe that man can control the thermostat, perhaps he can also prevent hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, and earthquakes.  Do I believe that man can control the weather? In no way! So, there must be another motive for spending billions of dollars to try.  Gee, I wonder if there might be an ulterior motive –like money?

I would suggest that maybe a better course of action would be for the occupant of the oval office to spend time learning what God meant when He said to Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you and the one who curses you I will curse.  And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed” (Gen. 12:3).  Perhaps, if he became like Jonah and led our nation out of its wilderness, we would not be concerned about the weather.

We had the opportunity to visit Mount St Helens shortly after the volcano blew its top.  The head geologist said it totally blew away their time tables of development of the earth.  What they had believed took millions and even billon of years to develop were completed in a matter of minutes, even seconds.  Trees were petrified, rock formations totally changed, lakes formed. 

A quote from a Mount St. Helens brochure: “A sudden burst of energy reshaped this land on May 18, 1980, like an artist making a bold change on an unfinished work of art.  Today we observe slower changes as these “finishing touches” of color, sound, and fragrance find their places in this new masterpiece”.  Man is so arrogant as to believe he can move the thermostat one degree.    It helps one to understand the Psalmist words, “God sits in the heaven and laughs”.

So my friend, you need to be equipped with the Word, filed in the recesses of your heart and brain, as to who God is!  He is a spirit.  He is the Creator who created us with a living soul.  He has no beginning and no end.  He is unsearchable.  His creation is beyond human grasp.   He is the “I Am” eternally existing in the present.  He is Omniscient (knows everything), Omnipresent (is present everywhere), and Omnipotent (has unlimited power).  He reveals Himself as the Trinity-  Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.  Not only is He Creator God, but He also has the power to recreate the world, as well as the power to forgive all the sins of the whole world.

Is it not fan-tab-u-ous!!! The God we serve, though so very huge, yet He is small enough to dwell in our hearts!!!  Wow, is that not awesome? Can you shout alleluia to that?

Blessings,
