How Big is God
This past weekend, I had the blessing of being in northern Michigan about 1/2 hour south of the Mackinac Bridge. As I was praying in an upstairs room one morning, I was struck at the beauty outside my window: land for as far as I could see with colorful trees at the far end of my scope of sight. What a beautiful world we live in when we get outside of the man-made portions. No pollution. No crime scenes. Just nature pure and simple. No wonder Paul says, “For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse” (Romans 1:20). How can anyone look outside and say, “There is no God”?
One of my favorite songs is “How Big is God” and I sing it a lot this time of year. In Michigan, a lot of the leaves are gone but when I see the color that remains or look up into a beautiful big sky, I instantly think, “Though man may try to go beyond the reach of space, to go beyond the distant glimmering stars, this world’s a room so small within my Master’s house, the open sky but a portion of His yard.”
Have you stopped to think today just how big our God is?
