The God who created us is bigger than anything we might face. I'm deeply convinced that the way we live is a consequence of the size of our God. The primary problem in our lives is we are not convinced that we are safe in the hands of a fully competent, all-knowing, ever-present, utterly loving, infinitely big God. When our God is too small, we pray without faith, worship without awe, serve without joy, and suffer without hope. The result is a life of stagnation and fear, a loss of vision, and an inability to persevere and see whatever we are facing to the end.
