Scripture: Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We live in such a 'self-control' 'do-it-yourself' world. We have so many things at our fingertips. Yet our control is an illusion. It is like someone driving a car on the highway, bopping along with the radio (or talking on a cellphone), with a sense of invulnerability; until they smash into an unmoving vehicle at 70 miles per hour. And it will happen to each of us.
Maybe it is the doctor saying "It's cancer."
Or an employer saying "I'm sorry, we have to let you go."
Maybe it's hearing that someone you love is unexpectedly ill or has died.
It is good, I think, to understand the vastness, and the intimacy of God, before we smash into one of these circumstances. For the next few days, we will look at God's vastness - how much bigger He is than our circumstances...and His intimacy - how He is right in the middle of our circumstances with us.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
There is no "bigger" than that.
Our God is a great, big, God.

Questions:
1. How do you imagine God?
2. Can you see an almighty God as 'friend'?
3. How do you compare God and Jesus?

May we see God as He is. Jim
"If Christianity is untrue, then no honest man will want to believe it, however helpful it might be:
if it is true, every honest man will want to believe it, even if it gives him no help at all."

Is this coincidence? Just yesterday, I sent you a long email reply about my "Big God" and "Little God" thoughts! God is indeed big, but we humans (locked in space and time) tend to use the wrong measuring devices. Using worldly measures, God is small - he can't create world peace or even make the red light I'm waiting at turn green. But when we apply Biblical measures, God is Almighty in every way.
