How Big is my God?

How big is my God? The past few days have seen blow after blow seem to be thrown at me unexpectedly. It is interesting how that tends to be a test of focus. I was thinking today of how we as believers are constantly under attack by Satan through the art of distraction. He knows that he cannot take away our salvation, but one thing he will not stop at is in distracting us from our focus on our Lord. I was sitting in class as one of my professors was talking about the glory of God. I was awestruck particularly by how purposeful God's plan is for mankind throughout all history and how He has been faithful to His Word. I think of how God has visibly manifested His glory as He dwelt among man throughout history and also removed Himself from then in, terms of His visible manifestation of glory, as man sinned. And yet, to think that God's plan is not dependent or moved out of place by man's sin and inadequacy, is just mind blowing. It blew my mind as I thought of how the shepherds must have felt when they saw that manifestation of glory as Christ's birth was announced as God Himself incarnate among man. What a vision that must have been, what a vision it will be in Heaven.How big is my God? I sat staring at this question for a while and could not even begin to put in in words. Everything else, what we stress about, what we are concerned about, our doubts, fears...they all melt into a melting pot of insignificance held together by a God who is able. I think that's the problem a great many times and how we fall into the temptation of destruction. We focus so much on our circumstances and lose sight of the glory of God. That is how Satan tempts. The real test is a test of focus. It is a test of who to trust. How big is my God?
