Big God or Big Worry?
Jul/092
Your God is only as big as your biggest worry.
In Luke 1:37, the Bible reminds us that, "Nothing is impossible with God." (NIV)
That is the message that the angel Gabriel relayed to Mary. The angel told Mary that Elizabeth was six months pregnant, even though she was an old woman. And Mary herself was going to be pregnant with the Son of God, even though she was a virgin.
How was all this possible?
Nothing is impossible with God.
That same God is still alive and well today. His power and His presence haven't diminished. But many of us act like they have.
We claim to believe that God is with us, but we live like He isn't.
We claim to believe that God is all powerful, but we live like He can't possibly handle our problems.
Maybe we need a fresh perspective. I can't remember who said it, but it's true. Instead of telling God how big our storm is, we need to tell the storm how big our God is.
How big are you allowing God to be in your life? Your God is only as big as your biggest worry.

Worry was the word of the day yesterday. I was flipping channels on the TV in the middle of the day, which I never do, came across an elderly minister who was talking about worry. I stopped to listen and it was very good lesson. Later in the evening I was having a discussion on worry with my granddaughter. I think God was trying to tell me it's time to stop worrying about things and let Him do his job.
Thanks Mike for starting the day that I will put my trust in God and work on letting go.

"Your God is only as big as your biggest worry!" WOW! AWESOME principle!!! No wonder he tells us not to worry. According to this pricnicple, that would make him undefinable, unfathomable, unsearchable–able to do and provide and accomplish anything. Hmmm, sounds like the Truth!
You need to preach a sermon on this one. Or if you already have, point me towards it.
