Today's "G" was for Great. The takeaway being, God is great, so we don't have to be in control. And oh it is so much easier to say than it is to live out. I am a control junkie. In fact, my position at work as a digital strategist promotes that I try and plan five years in advance. Despite the name of this blog, I tend to have very little faith in God. I do not doubt his power, but somethings can feel too big to grasp.
God is great, so we don't have to be in control.
- How can God really know what is going on in everyone's lives? How does one fathom absolute sovereignty?
- What happens if what (I think) I want with my life, the script I'm writing, doesn't align with the one He has and is writing for me?
- Why would he care about the details of my life?
Absolute sovereignty is more than attainable for God. If you were to take the amazing talents of everyone on this Earth it would only be regarded as dust.
Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; / They are regarded as dust on the scales; / He weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.
God knows how to manage the details, and he cares. Heck, he took the time to place each star in its place and then name them!
Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens; / Who created all these? / He who brings out the starry host one by one / And calls forth each of them by name. / Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.
He is a Father that cares deeply, carrying us close to His heart.
He tends his flock like a shepherd: / He gathers the lambs in his arms / and carries them close to his heart; / he gently leads those that have young.
