Coffee Break
"He's A Big
God"
"Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his
hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth
in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a
balance?" Isaiah 40:12
On Wednesday nights at church we have been watching
a video teaching by John Bevere. Last night he was talking about the
awesomeness of God- exactly how big and how great God is. He used the
scripture above and began to compare the size of God with the universe in
terms we could understand (although it's still hard to wrap our little finite
minds around some of those figures). He talked about the size of the
universe and how long it takes to get to our closet star. If we traveled
in a jet from the earth to the sun it would take 21 years to get
there. Our next closet star is over four million light years away.
He went on to say that our galaxy is only one of millions that are out there,
yet as big as the universe is, God can measure it with the span of His
hand. There are billions of stars in the universe, but the Lord not only
created them, but calls each one by name (and never forgets a
name).
Personally, I can't fathom how big the universe is,
but God measures it with His hand. I can't even fully comprehend the size
of all the oceans in the world, but God counts every drop of water in them
and holds them all combined in the palm of His hand. He knows how much the
earth weighs. He sets the mountains and hills on a scale and weighs them
like you would weigh a pound of meat. He knows how many grains of sand on
the seashore. He knows how many blades of grass in my front
yard. He knows how many apples on each tree, and He knows how many apples
are in an apple seed waiting to be planted. He tells the ocean how
far it call go on the shore. He knows the number of fish in the sea,
birds in the air, cattle on the ground. There is no way to fully
comprehend how big God truly is.
But at the same time, this big, awesome and
amazing God knows me. He knows how many tears I cry when I am
hurting. He knows the number of hairs on my head. He knows how
many times my heart beats a minute. He knows my DNA without looking at it
under a microscope. He knows how many blood cells are in my body. He knows
my every thought even before I think them.
Don't limit the Lord, He is bigger and greater than
we have the ability to understand- He can do anything! But don't limit Him
either by thinking that He is so big that He doesn't care about you or have time
for you. You are more important to Him than the stars of the sky, the
sands of the sea or the vastness of the universe. These are all
evidence of the greatness of God. But He humbled Himself and took on the
likeness of sinful flesh then died on the cross to take away your sins-- that
was His evidence of how great His love is for you.
Have a great day. He is bigger and greater
than we will ever be able to understand but He loves us so
much.
