Is Your God Too Small?  

Posted by Devin Parker

It must be some kind of defense mechanism, or maybe it's the influence of sin in some way? How do we continue on every day, every moment, without just being overwhelmed by the sheer immensity of everything? Far too often, I find it easy to shuffle God to the back of my thoughts and priorities, and just schlep around, doing my thing...usually, whatever shiny bauble has caught my attention for the moment. I don't give a thought to what He's truly capable of, and as a result, I often let my worries and shortcomings get the better of me. I let fear grip me, forgetting that God is sovereign over everything.

So, here's a little perspective.

(In my best Joey Lawrence/Neo impression)....Whoa.
I can not wait until God restores us to a pre sin mind-set.
That animation gave me goosebumps. And think, it's just a tiny man-made glimpse of the truth of Gods ...umm...bigness.
I can't wait to walk around and constantly and actively experience the never ending awe felt in knowing how great my God is. ALL THE TIME.
In thinking of this animated view of the planets, and then the Suns, I believe I can better understand what it is to fear, and love God at the same time.
To think, one day we all will be brought before the One who made all of those colossus', and we will be judged. Or made to give an account for our lives here on Earth.
And depending on the choice we make here to follow God or not, We will be in the same hands that created the Sun in either wrath, or His undeserved favor and love.
Gulp. Either way I think this helps us understand how every knee will bow and tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.
Praise God.
And thank you Devin.
