How big is Your God?

Isaiah 66

LET IT GLOW

Here we are at the last chapter of this prophetic book is a fitting climax. We began this journey on November 5, 2019. Thank you, friend, for continuing with me on such a long walk of faith. What is there left for God to tell us, through Isaiah?

1. Heaven is God's throne earth is His footstool.

The passage points to the magnitude and immensity of God, who is greater than the heavens themselves. He is the God who does not really need a temple. There is no house or place that man can build that shall contain or confine God. Even Solomon's temple, in which the glory of the Lord dwelt as a representation of His presence with Israel, can only be referred to as the dwelling place of God in a symbolic sense. (Liberty Bible Commentary)


Even the beautiful temple in Jerusalem was woefully inadequate for a God who is present everywhere. God cannot be confined in any human structure (2 Chron. 6:18; Acts 7:49-50)
(Life Application Study Bible)

The deacon Stephen quoted this verse, among many, as he stood before the Jewish council of religious leaders. They accused falsely Stephen of the same thing as Jesus-wanting to change Moses' customs. That group was hung up on meticulously following the Law that they did not recognize that God is everywhere, even among them in the form of Jesus.

Can we get a sliver of understanding of how big our God is?

Heaven is the throne of His glory and government; there God sits, infinitely above all blessing and praise. The earth is His footstool, on which He stands, overruling all the affairs of it according to His will. (Matthew Henry)

Can a house or temple built be the residence of God's glory? Nothing can contain Him.
Wow! I tend to make my God small, but He is not. So nothing is bigger than our God.

Nothing is impossible with God. (Luke 1:37) Do you have a need that our Almighty God can meet?
Lay it at His feet.

How big is your God? Can He handle anything that come to you and me today? Definitely!

LET IT GROW

2. All those things God has made.

What things are in your little world that you enjoy, things which God has made?
Just Monday, I saw a fawn with white spots trotting down my country road. then Wednesday, I saw a doe in our field. I think they were looking for each other, so I asked God to direct them to each other, so the fawn would live.

Last week my mammy cat brought her two kittens up on my porch for them to eat. I have been feeding them kitten food and trying to tame them. They are so cute; one is orange like her and one is calico and fluffy with white feet. I really am enjoying them, watching them play together.

Then, yesterday, I had lunch with a childhood friend. It was the first time we had been together since September. What a blessing she is. We celebrate our birthdays, mine in June and hers in July, with lunch, treating each other.

Those are just some new blessings God has given me recently. How about you?

LET IT GO

What a mighty God we serve! How great You are!
Nothing is bigger than You, God.
