1 Kings 8:27
"But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built!"
Have you ever typed "the universe" into Google? How about "Hubble Telescope", "galaxies" or "NASA"?
Psalm 147:4 Does God know my name? Psalm 108:4 Does God love me? Isaiah 48:13 God put the stars in the palm of his hand and then spread them out in the universe... just how big is this guy?
Jeremiah 32:17, Job 25
Is it too difficult for Christ to restore me? Christ, by the way, is a co-creator (Colossians 1:15-17)
Psalm 8:3-4 - God is HUGE and we are tiny. Romans 12:1-2 says God can take us from the ooze of the mud to the ozone of the universe. Philippians 2:13, the Bible says that God works in me for his purpose. He can. He will. He does. The question is then, do I allow myself to believe that?
Google God. Then Choose God. Again. He is astronomical.
1. From what you know about the solar systems and space, take a few moments to contemplate how big God is. Now try to describe that immensity.
I have studied astronomy in high school and college. I know, or at least have an idea, how big the universe is... which is why I feel so tiny sometimes when I pray. I wonder if God is as big as I think he is, then why would he give my thoughts ANY KIND of consideration. God is bigger than the universe, he could probably wrap his arms around the universe, which makes me the tiniest cell within a cell to a mammoth of a giant.
2. If you could keep a clear view of an astronomical God in the forefront of your mind, how would that affect your faith?
It would make me much more humble. I would even think that it would squish whatever faith I had... why would a God that massive give so much a consideration to me?
3. If you viewed your life from God's perspective, what might you see that you don't now see?
I might have a better understanding of why God loves me.
4. List three things that a huge God could help do in your life and circumstances this year.
1: Get Restored 2: Overcome depression 3: Overcome Fibromyalgia
