and the One who walks with me on it.

Just How Big is God?




      A storm rages outside my window right now.  The thunder rolls like bowling balls being thrown down old alley floors while lightning flashes in the black skies like a photographer’s flash.  We’ve already lost power once and I don’t want to take a chance on losing it again, so today’s post will be shorter than normal.


For he looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens. When he gave to the wind its weight and apportioned the waters by measure, when he made a decree for the rain and a way for the lightning of the thunder, then he saw it and declared it; he established it, and searched it out.  Job 28:24-27 ESV

       God is big enough that He can see the ends of the earth and everything else.  He sees all of mankind and everything they do (scary thought, hey?), “The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.(Pr. 15:3).  From His dwelling place He looks on all the people of the earth.(Ps. 33:14) indicates He sees all of us in every place doing good and evil for “…all things are naked and opened to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.(Hb. 4:13).  In comparison, I can only see about three feet in front of me and a few feet to each side.

       Our mighty God created the universe (Gn. 1) by His word, “…the ages were framed by a word of God…” (Hb. 11:3) and sustains it by His word as well, “…upholding all things by the word of His power…” (Hb. 1:3).  So He chose how it would all work, when seasons and times would happen, how the rain cycle would work and the winds would blow.  God set it all in motion and only He determines how it functions.  It was God that established the thunder and lightning that I’m hearing and seeing right now!

God sees it
     God declares it
          God establishes it
               God searches it out!

Our God is the Most High God, the only living God of the Universe!

Praise His name forevermore!
