How Big is YOUR God?

C. S. Lewis.

The Chronicles of Narnia.

WHO doesn't love them??

C.S. Lewis used his wonderful story-telling ability to speak Truth to the young, and young-at-heart.  If you haven't read the books (or seen the movies), stop what you're doing and check them out.  Look for Truth in them.  It's there.

"Thus says the LORD: Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what is the house that you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest?"  Isaiah 66:1 ESV

When we are children, little children, it is easy to believe in a God who is big enough to hold the world in His hands, most children even know the words to the song (He's got the whole world.....). Why is it so easy to believe when we are so small?  Because we ARE so small! Everything is bigger than we are, except the little brother or sister that mom and dad brought home from the hospital.

As we get taller, supposedly smarter, we can "logic" God into a smaller, easier to digest size.  Some of us get to full height and manage to smush God into a tiny little box we can put on the shelf.  We have logic-ed ourselves into containing God in a way that our brains can wrap around and make sense of.  Because God works that way.  NOT!

Read the quote. It doesn't say "every year you that you get taller".  It says "every year you grow, you will find me bigger".  What's the difference?

When we spend time with God we GROW. When we spend time in His Word and absorb the wonders that ARE who He is, we grow.  And as we grow, we can see Him getting bigger and bigger.  It's all optical illusion- He is all.  God is ALL.  We just have to grow enough to see it, like we did when we were little and loved reading fairy tales.  When we grow into Him like a child.

Anyone up for a children's book?
