0709 mag cover devoHow Big Is God?

 

He counts the number of the stars… His understanding is infinite. The LORD lifts up the humble.
Psalm 147:4-6

 

Our God is infinite.  He’s limited by no boundaries in time, space, or character.  His qualities are bottomless; His attributes are endless; His power is matchless.  There’s much about Him we don’t know, will not discover, and can never fathom.  After all, if He were small enough to be comprehended, He wouldn’t be large enough to be worshipped.  He is infinite and eternal in all the dimensions of His reality.

 

Our God is intimate.  He encompasses us behind and before, beneath and above.  He counts each footstep we take and every hair on our heads.   From top to toe, we’re fully known, loved, and cared for by Him, today and tomorrow, both now and forever.

 

If He were infinite but not intimate, He’d be too vast to be known.  If He were intimate but not infinite, He’d be too weak to be helpful.  He who counts the stars also knows our names and lifts our hearts.

 

He is “our Father who art in heaven.”

 

He’s big enough to rule His mighty universe, yet small enough to live within my heart.
Stuart Hamblen

 “The heavier the load, the rockier the road.” Don’t go looking for that quote on the Internet or in any of my books since I’ve just thought of it for this article. But it seems to me to express a principle that stands true in the physical world as well as the spiritual—and I hope you’ll take it with you after reading this article. Let me explain what’s behind this little truism.
