How BIG is Your God?????
The Tale of Jonah and the Whale seems kinda 'un~believeable' ......far~fetched.
Try explaining that one to a curious 5 yr. old!!!!
Yet, I learned this at a early age in Sunday School and just 'believed' without any thought
of whether it was true or not....
Now today I'm reading my Bible and into the 2nd Chapter:verse 10, of Johan it says very clearly
this.....
".....And the Lord ORDERED the fish
to spit up Jonah on the beach,
AND HE DID!"
Takes a BIG God to 'give an order' and have it obeyed, immediately!
YET THAT IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF GOD WE SERVE AS THE ONE AND
ONLY TRUE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE....
Going back to Genesis it began....
just read the very first chapter alone and it says,
Then God said,
"Let there be light."
And light appeared.
Eight times in the 1st chapter of Genesis it says....
"Then God said...."
This is throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelations....
"Then God spoke...and it happened..."
Why should the incident with Jonah be a surprise to us
when it is a 'natural', super~natural, event
for our God?
We serve a prayer hearing, prayer answering,
Miracle Working God...
Says so in the Bible.
Really the question should not be about 'How BIG God is...'
but should be...
"How BIG is our Faith in God, Jesus and His Holy Spirit
to be GOD completely natural and normal in us?"
My Prayer Today
"Dear Lord, I pray for my areas of 'unbelief' and You alone,
know where I have 'lack of faith', limited faith, wishy~washy faith and 'doubting faith.'
I know that Your Word says that Jesus is the 'Author' and 'Finisher'
of our Faith, so I am depending on You, Jesus,
to complete that which is lacking in me...
I know simply that I believe in You, Jesus,
so let's get on with the job at hand beginning where I am now, today.
I ask this, in faith, believing that You will finish
what has been started in me, on planet earth.
In Jesus Love, I expect Your usual, unusual
Miracle work in me...
Amen
My Promise
Luke 12:6-7Amplified Bible (AMP)
Jesus speaks.....6"Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And yet not one of them is forgotten or uncared for in the presence of God.
7But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Do not be struck with fear or seized with alarm;
you are of greater worth than many flocks of sparrows."
7But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Do not be struck with fear or seized with alarm;
you are of greater worth than many flocks of sparrows."
