HOW BIG IS YOUR GOD?

A few weeks ago, I was praying 

and asked the Lord,  "Why do some people 

just not see you as the mighty God and 

yet others see you mighty and lifted up?"  

I've had people tell me that they don't 

even believe God exist.  

When I ask the

Lord this type of question I know that 

I need to keep all of my senses open 

and listening for Him to answer.  

The answer came today as I was purchasing 

some books for my grand children.  When 

you look at this photo does it appear that 

the black dots are different sizes?  They are

not.  They are both exactly the same size

I know because I drew them myself. 

As the objects in the photo grow larger the

black circle looks smaller.  The same is 

true in our lives.  If we allow the joys of 

life to grow out of proportion then our 

view of God becomes smaller.  

The scripture says that in the last days men

will become lovers of themselves instead

of lovers of God.  It also said that there would 

be a strong delusion that would keep people

from seeing who He really is because of 

their love of themselves and life's pleasures.  

Have you allowed all of technology and the

knowledge of this century to keep you from 

really seeing how big God is?  God has never 

changed His size.  He has remained the same 

all through the years.  

He is just as great and powerful today 

as he was in Moses and Noah's time.  If

we allow other things to rule and reign in 

our hearts daily He will become smaller and 

smaller to us.  That doesn't change Him, it 

only changes our prospective of Him. 

JOB 26:11-14

The pillars of heaven tremble and are 

astonished at his reproof.   He divideth the sea 

with his power, and by his understanding 

he smiteth through the proud. By his spirit he 

hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath 

formed the crooked serpent. Lo, these are parts 

of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? 

but the thunder of his power who can understand?

CURRENT OF FEARS OR WAVES OF HOPE

You can let the currents of your fears pull 

you down into the depths of the sea of despair,
 or you can ride the waves of hope,
enjoy the view, and possibly 

reach the heights of your potential.

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; 

for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, 

I will help thee; yea, I will uphold 

thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 

Isaiah 41:10

PRISM OF THE GRACE OF GOD

As my heart clashes with the love for my Lord
 and the love of my family, friends 
and neighbors I pray it produces
a Prism of the Grace of God and will
touch each person with the color
and vibration they need to fall into
His glorious everlasting arms.
His love fills one with awe at
how He can take the clouds
of our discouragement and
the tears of our compassion
and burst forth radiance for his glory.

  Thou hast turned for me my mourning
into dancing: thou hast put
off my sackcloth, and girded me
with gladness; To the end that my
glory may sing praise to thee,
and not be silent. O LORD
my God, I will give thanks unto
thee for ever.

Psalms 30:11

HE CALLS ME OUT

Photo provided by David Dedwylder

Do you ever wonder how the Lord finds you

in all the massiveness of the universe?

There are so many people living in the world

right now, that if I were looking for someone not

having a map, a cell phone, or their address,

it would take me a year to locate them. 

Yet the Lord sees you in all the clutter and

he calls you out. 

He knows your name and knows

the plan he has for your life.

He has equipped you with the very

thing that will help someone else

on their walk in life.  He moves

in and through you and strums the

chords within your soul to bring

forth the necessary things in your

life to draw you closer to his

presence, not only for Himself
and for your walk; but for those
your life will touch.

Does that mean that we always listen? 

No, because each of us has our own

will and desires.  Many times we

find ourselves putting our will and

our desires above His.

Just this week I felt compelled to

write on my blog and then I said to

myself, "people are probably getting

tired of seeing my blogs and post.  I

made a conscious choice not to listen

to the Lord.   Fifteen minutes passed
and I was singing a song and  enjoying life.
I heard that still small voice wooing me to
listen, I once again pushed it aside.  After
about forty five minutes of pushing it aside,
I realized my day would be unfulfilled if I

continued to push him aside. 

I finially stopped and listened to His call.

How does he even find me in this vast city?

How can he speak to my heart and yet be

speaking to thousands of others at the

same time?  How does he know that

I am straying from his presence?  How

does he so gently touch my heart and

bring me back to the place I am willing

to listen to his voice?

He does this  because He is the designer.  He
created you and I.  He holds the manual
in His hands and desires to keep you
close to His heart.

Will you listen to His call?


Isaiah 43:1-2
But now thus saith the Lord that created thee,
O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel,
Fear not: for I have redeemed thee,
I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
When thou passest through the waters,
I will be with thee; and through the rivers,
they shall not overflow thee:
when thou walkest through the fire,
thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame
kindle upon thee.

Even every one that is called by my name:
for I have created him for my glory,
I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
‭Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭1-2, 7
