My God is HUGE!

As I was walking to work this morning I found myself gazing up into the bright, deep blue sky. (While still glancing down as appropriate to avoid any serious injury.) It is the kind of sky that I can get lost in. I reminds me how big God is and how small I am. Many people are fascinated by the study of the universe - particularly its immense size. (Most will say it is limitless.) But this is not what I find most incredible. I know God is big. I know that God is bigger than my limited mind can comprehend. I simply choose to accept this as fact.

But here's where it gets tricky for me. Since I accept that God is infinitely bigger than me, I also accept that I am therefore very small indeed. So if I am truly so very small and only one of billions of people on this very small planet, how is it that this huger-than-I-can-ever-understand God knows me and loves me?

Maybe the truth is that I have a misguided understanding of the character of God's huge-ness. Maybe God's limitless size actually enables Him to be intimate with billions of people continually. Maybe God's huge-ness is not just about size, but about His capacity to know and love.

I am reminded that I have an Enemy. He tells me that I am too small and insignificant for this big God to know me, let alone love me. So when I am tempted to believe that I don't really matter - I know it is my enemy at work. The Bible is overflowing with God's words of love for His children. I often take much joy in reading them. But my enemy says - "Well, you don't really think those words are for you, do you?! You're not that important. God said these things to other people, not you."

The truth that I know is: God is HUGE. God KNOWS me! God LOVES me! "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief." Mark 9:24
