Most of us can state without hesitation or limitation that God is big, very big. We can describe God's attributes and character with many high sounding words. Infinite, creator, all powerful, all knowing, sovereign, all loving, pure, etc.
God is God. He said "I am". In other words, God is who God is simply because He is God. He is who He is, regardless of what we think He is.
The real question for us is "How big is your God?"
If we believe in the great I Am, then we must accept what He says about Himself. Sadly, the great I Am is not our God. Our actions show we really don't believe in that God. Our actions show we believe in a lesser God, a God who is not quite as big as the real one.
Our lives show that we really don't think God is all that big. We limit our God to what we can do. It is nonsense and deception to say on the one hand that God is big, then only do what we can do on the other. Our lives and actions really show how big we think God is.
So we go about our lives making no impact. How much impact have you had with those around you? Has that impact led people to Jesus or away? How much impact has your life made in the world? Or is your God limited to your community and your family and your church?
How big is your God?
He says that He can do more than we can ask or imagine. He can do more than we can think of or dream about. He can use you to make an eternal impact on this world. He can use you to do amazing things. Trouble is, we just don't think God is that big.
How big is God?
God is big enough to change nations. God is big enough to transform the lives of millions. Have you ever dreamed of being a part of changing a nation? Have your ever dreamed of seeing millions accept Jesus as savior? Have your ever dreamed of helping thousands overcome addiction? Have your ever dreamed of seeing your community turn to Christ?
Just how big is your God? Your life is the answer to that question.
