How BIG?

How big is God?
How big is God to you?
How big is God IN you?


Does He sometimes whisper to your heart things He wants you to know?


Or does He echo so loud in the recesses of your being that it reverberates out into your life and surroundings?


How often do you listen to God?


Does He show you His people, His hurt children, His passion for all to know and be known by Him?


Do you listen to God?


Or do you “turn on” your God channel when it’s convenient?


Once a day during your “quiet time” while you’re seeking Him for your needs of spiritual refreshing?


Twice a day when you’ve heard a speaker on the radio, or read a blog, or watched a show that made you think about Him?


Or do you live each day with the sole purpose of discovering more ways to hear Him…every moment. a journey to come One Step Closer to Him?

Do you love God?


Do you show your love to God?

Or do you just say it?

To others?

To yourself “Oh, I love God!”?

To HIM?

Do you mean it?

Do your actions speak louder than words?

Do you crave Him like you crave your favorite meal? With that salivating, almost can taste it, driven desire?


Do you want to change who you are because you love Him and are loved BY Him?

Are you being changed?

Daily?

Minute by minute?

Does change scare you?

Do you trust God?

Do you believe He knows best?

Do you trust His ways are BETTER than your ways?

Do you truly believe that He loves you and has established His plan for your life for your good, however He chooses to manifest that plan?

Do you surrender your plans, and you ideals, for His plan?

Do you say, “Here I am God…send me!”?

Or do you only allow Him to use you where you want to be?

Do you resign God to your small limited perception?

Or do you recognize His vast limitless which is beyond the confinement of space, time, logic and emotion?


Do recognize your infancy, and cry out in your need, and find His love and nurturing Hand…and discipline?

Do you see Him in others?

Do you seek Him out in others?

Do you even know what to look for to find Him in others?

Do you see Him in you?

Is He a flicker….a little gleam in your eye?

Is He a flame, that causes your countenance to beam?

Is He a fire…that consumes you so that others don’t even see you, but only Him?

Or do you want to be seen?

Do you know God?

Or do you know of Him?

Do you love God?

Or do you just love being loved by God?

Do you live for Him?

Or do you just live with Him?

Does He inspire your actions?

Or do you just give Him a recap at the end of the day?

Does He tower above any other drawing enticement in your life?

Or does He fit neatly into your agenda?

How big is God?
How big is God to you?
How big is God IN you?



1 John 4:4
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.


Isaiah 55:8
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD.


Psalm 33:11
But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.


Romans 8:10
But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.


Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
