My Big God, How Small I See Him



My God is really bigger than I can conceive.  Yet daily, I put Him in a box that cannot contain Him.

Perhaps I should respond to God daily, as Job responded to God's speech below ... Job 40:4  "Behold, I am insignificant, what can I reply to thee?"

But then again, He did send His Son to die for me ...

Job 38

The LORD Speaks
 1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm. He said:  2 "Who is this that darkens my counsel
       with words without knowledge?
 3 Brace yourself like a man;
       I will question you,
       and you shall answer me.
 4 "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?
       Tell me, if you understand.
 5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
       Who stretched a measuring line across it?
 6 On what were its footings set,
       or who laid its cornerstone-
 7 while the morning stars sang together
       and all the angels [a] shouted for joy?
 8 "Who shut up the sea behind doors
       when it burst forth from the womb,
 9 when I made the clouds its garment
       and wrapped it in thick darkness,
 10 when I fixed limits for it
       and set its doors and bars in place,
 11 when I said, 'This far you may come and no farther;
       here is where your proud waves halt'?
 12 "Have you ever given orders to the morning,
       or shown the dawn its place,
 13 that it might take the earth by the edges
       and shake the wicked out of it?
 14 The earth takes shape like clay under a seal;
       its features stand out like those of a garment.
 15 The wicked are denied their light,
       and their upraised arm is broken.
 16 "Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea
       or walked in the recesses of the deep?
 17 Have the gates of death been shown to you?
       Have you seen the gates of the shadow of death [b] ?
 18 Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth?
       Tell me, if you know all this.
 19 "What is the way to the abode of light?
       And where does darkness reside? .....
