Good Morning!
Just how big is our God? We really can’t clearly understand but the scriptures give us some insight into this subject.
(1) God’s throne is in Heaven and the Earth is His footstool. There is no place that can contain Him. If we take just the closest star in the physical heavens from earth, our sun, it is 93 million miles. That’s BIG, yet God is even bigger than that!
Isaiah 66:1 NKJV
[1] Thus says the LORD: “Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest?
Isaiah 55:9 NLT
[9] For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
(2) God created the universe with the work of His fingers. Scientists estimate that the observable universe is 93 Billion light years across. Yet God created it all with His fingers in just 1 day. Now that’s BIG!
Psalm 8:3-4 NLT
[3] When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers- the moon and the stars you set in place- [4] what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?
Psalm 89:11 NLT
[11] The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours; everything in the world is yours-you created it all.
(3) He sees everything. God is able to look down from heaven and see the whole human race. There is no place that we can hide from His presence. He knows everything about us, yet even in our sinful nature, He loves us infinitely.
Psalm 33:13-15 NLT
[13] The LORD looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race. [14] From his throne he observes all who live on the earth. [15] He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do.
Jeremiah 16:17 NKJV
[17] For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes.
So we serve a BIG God. He is able. He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end. He created all. He sees all. He knows all. Yet, Jesus humbled Himself to come down from heaven as a man, being 100% God and 100% man, to die in our place so that humanity can be in a right relationship with God. He atoned for us, where we could not.
Isaiah 9:6 NKJV
[6] For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
God is so big, yet He sent His Spirit to live within us so that we can have daily communion with Him. His Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are His children.
Romans 8:16 NKJV
[16] The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
God is so big, yet He is with us as our personal Lord and Savior and knows us intimately. His name is Immanuel, translated as “God with us.”
Psalm 103:14 NKJV
[14] For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.
Matthew 1:23 NKJV
[23] “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
All of this to say, that God, who is infinitely bigger than we could ever imagine, who created all things, and who knows all things, loves us just as infinitely and makes Himself available to us, listening, watching and answering our prayers. There is nothing too big for Him — no problems, no sickness, no sin, nothing can separate us from His love. He is our Heavenly Father and we are His children. He wants to have a relationship with us for all of eternity.
Romans 8:38-39 NKJV
[38] For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, [39] nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Jude 1:21 NKJV
[21] keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
I love you and am praying for you today and more importantly God loves you!
