Dear friends, I have great news for us. God is bigger. Bigger than what? Bigger than anything!
Bigger than our problems, bigger than our universe, bigger than our pain. God is simply bigger than all … and this should encourage us today.
While most of our selfish instincts want to enlarge us, we actually have a healthy dose of awe and peace when we are faced with something larger than our life. When you look out over the ocean, or up to the stars, or gaze across the mountains, or stare down into the Grand Canyon … we don’t think – Wow, I’m awesome! Instead, we look at these amazing vast places, and realize that there is something bigger than us, and it gives us peace.
Now, think about this … God is bigger than all of creation. There was a time before there was an ocean or a canyon, but there was never a time when God was not. He is everlasting … and He created all there is to communicate His divine attributes and power to us. When we are calmed by the vastness of nature’s beauty, we are finding peace in the God who is greater than we are.
And, dear friends, not only is God bigger, but He is also a Helper. We can come to Him and request His help as we deal with the difficulties of this life. This is great news that we need to hear today.
On Sunday, May 12, we will be gathering for worship at Wildwood Community Church and continuing our “Him Book” sermon series from the Psalms. This week, we will be in Psalm 90 – a Psalm written by Moses. In this Psalm, Moses calibrates our perspective from the temporal to the eternal, and from a focus on us to a focus on God … so that we might turn to Him for help in the midst of this brief and often difficult life. I hope you can join us in our 8:30, 9:45, or 11:00 service as we look at Psalm 90 together. Hope to see you there … and bring friends (including your moms – HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!”)
