How Big Is Your God?

I have anticipated launching Confidence And Joy.com for some time now.  And during these moths of preparation, I thought a lot about what the first article should be about.

And in my mind I kept coming back to, “How Big is Your God?”

Actually, one of the first Pep Talks I ever recorded was titled, “How Big is Your God?”  It is such an important question when it comes to having confidence in God, that I wanted it to be the first article posted on this site!

The Pep Talk, “How Big is Your God?” is on Volume 1 of Mike’s Pep Talks. I have also written an article or two in the past about this topic. It is the first article in the free eBook you receive for subscribing to this blog, either through RSS feed or via email.

Why Is This Such An Important Question?

Most people can quickly tell you just how big their problem is, and usually in great detail. But, how often do you hear people tell you how big their God is? Do you have a problem that is so big and so complicated that it’s too big for God Almighty?

Now if you are a fan of the Bible you probably know that there are many records in there that show that God is a God of solutions!  Big ones and little ones!  After all, He is the Almighty!  And His name is not Bruce, either!

If you truly want help from God, you must first recognize that He is God Almighty; that He has unlimited resources and power; that He has solutions you’ve never even thought of. He is very able!

Secondly, you need to recognize that He is willing, very willing to help you, because He loves you.

So, Just How Big Is Your God?

It’s sad that a lot of people either don’t believe that God is able, or, they don’t believe that He is willing.  I don’t know what God they are thinking of, but the God of the Bible is very able and very willing.

Have you ever wondered why there are so many incidents recorded in the Bible that show God’s great delivering power?  Do you think they are in there to embarrass you, or, to encourage you?  Do you think they are in there to take up space, or, to inspire you?  Those incidents are in there to encourage you and to inspire you by showing you the great delivering power of God!

There Is No Problem Or Situation That Is Too Big For God!

So what about the other stumbling block – not believing that God is willing?  If He’s not willing, then why did He issue so many promises?  Was He lying?  No, He wasn’t lying.  What He’s promised He is both able and willing to do.

But here’s where people stumble.  A lot of times a person really doesn’t feel worthy to receive from God.  They accept that God can and will do things for other people, but not for them.  They don’t feel like they are good enough to even go to God and ask.

There are people in the Bible who aren’t even mentioned by name that God did wonderful things for.  Even people you would never think deserved God’s help!  And just exactly what would you have to do to be worthy enough anyway?

Who on this earth is so perfect that they deserve God’s help?  If God only helps those who are perfect, He’s not going to be very busy!  In fact He would probably get bored!

You Must Recognize These Two Things

If you truly want help from God, you must first recognize that He is God Almighty – that He has unlimited resources and power and has solutions that you’ve never even thought of.  He is very able.

Secondly, you need to recognize that He is willing, very willing to help you; yes you!  Not because of anything that you have done, or haven’t done, but because He loves you.

Recognize those two things, and then go to God, talk to Him; tell Him what your problem is and ask Him for a solution.

Continue to go to God, asking for a solution until you get it.

The Bible promises that God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think!  How big is that?  Is that big enough to handle your situation?

How big is your God?
