Too big.

Have you ever really thought about just how incredible the Lord is? I mean just try. Try to think about how huge and powerful. But yet how intimate and affectionate he is. While he is omniscient and omnipresent. It blows my mind. And it should blow anyones mind. In fact, it should do more than just that, it should shape the way you are. Thinking about a God as insane as that one ^.. you shouldn't be the same. However, a lot of us are.

A lot of us go through a day without even taking a double take at what the Lords doing that day. We walk outside and see God's creation all around us, and it doesn't take our minds away from earthly things for more than a second. 

Psalm 46 says, "God is out refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging."

Dang. 

That is a God we keep silent? A God THAT powerful, we don't give him the credit at all during a normal day?

I've always heard in the Church that we are to fear God. We are to fear his power and ability and that is what should lead us to giving our lives over to this Creator. But, what if I disagree with that for a minute? What if that verse shows a God that is not only powerful enough to be feared,  but a God that cares so intimately about us. A verse of security and hope and of comfort. What if that is what led us over to the Lord? Instead of being worried for the state of your salvation, we simply felt loved by the Lord? You feel Gods overwhelming presence so much and to the greatest extent, you have no choice but to live a life for His glory.

Fearing the Lord comes after you have experienced his gift of grace. It's natural and it's effortless. 

I pray for people to see His glory. To walk outside and have no other thought than one to praise His creation. To meet a stranger and see them as someone who the Lord specifically designed.

God is so good. Too good. Too powerful. Too strong. Too perfect for us. He's more than we'll ever know on this side of glory. But, wouldn't it be cool to begin chipping away at that God? Wouldn't it be sorta neat, if that was a God we all started to give our lives to? Yeah, I thought so too. :)

"I will not be shaken, therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay. You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence." Acts 2:25-28.
