God is Big

Gen 1:1 tells us "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." This past week in greenhouse we took a look at four stars.

The four stars we looked at are huge. When compared to the size of the earth they are enormous. Yet even though these stars are enormous, the God of the Bible spoke them into creation.

I can't even begin to understand how that happened. God is so big, so powerful, that when he spoke things happened, things where formed. The God of the Bible really is indescribable.

Isn't it so funny that we all find ourselves from time to time giving God advice. We take our plans our dreams to him and tell him what is best for our lives.

Like the God who planned the entire universe can't figure out what is best for us.

Sin does the terrible job of shrinking our ideas of God and puffing ourselves up. Sin trades the truth that God is sovereign with the lie that we would be better off if we were in control.

So the next time you are able to look up and see the stars. Remember how great and awesome the God of the Bible is and try not to give him suggestions for your life. I think he has it all covered.
