Big God, Small Me.

Job 26:14

“these are but the outer fringe of His works...How faint the whisper we hear of Him.”

After so many years of experiencing God in my life and ministry, why am I still so slow in understanding that God is no where near as small and compact as I think Him to be? It’s frustrating when I have everything laid out so neatly, so clearly, so perfectly, and then God alters my plan. He makes it clear that there is so much I do not know about Him and HIS plan. Why am I so slow to learn what was undeniably clear to Job - “these are but the outer fringe of His works...” What I believe is a complete blueprint of what God has designed for my life or for the church, is really just one stroke of the drafter’s pencil. What appears to be a raging storm of His Spirit is but one drop of rain in a light drizzle of His work. “How faint the whisper we hear of Him.” The truth is that I do not really know God at all. So much is still hidden because He is SO big! When I make Him small, and He does not act or respond as I think He should, He may be easier for me to deal with, but I also miss out on all the things He can and wants to do for me that I do not yet know even exists. There are times when I think God is treating me unfairly, but the true question is, do I want fair or do I want just. Do I want to become what I think I should be or what God wants me to be? Think about it, which way is better?
