Food for the Soul

Today’s Wisdom Scripture is “You hem me in, behind and before; You laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I go up to the heavens, You are there; If I make my bed in the depths You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there. Your hand will guide me, Your right will hold me fast.” (Psalm 139:5-10 NIV)

God can take a mess and make a miracle when we put our trust in Him."

The Size of God In Our Life

It is a truth; the size of God in our life depends on how honest and truthful we can be with Him and with our self. When we know there’s ‘stuff’ within us needing attention yet we ignore this’ stuff’, then God is diminished within us because we haven’t permitted Him to work fully and fruitfully within us. We may not really be aware of this, and that is; the size of God within us is determines by how much we trust Him and to trust Him is the greatest evidence of spiritual maturity.

Why is it most of us ( Yes, we Christian Believers) want a written statement or a written guarantee that things will be alright? We’re willing to trust God only if God proves to us we have no need to distrust Him. We’re willing to trust God only if there is no risk to us. The truth is; to trust our unseen God/Father who speaks to us at times in quiet whispers requires us to put our whole person or whole being into His very capable hands. We must admit this is hard to do; yet we know we can trust Him for we instinctively know He loves us and He will never ever fail any of us although we fail Him more times we dare to count! Amen!

One More Word! “We must not allow the size of our “worry list” to determine the size of God in our life.” Long list, small God, short list BIG God!
