How Big is Your God?

What you believe about God will determine who you are and what you can do.

Many people have reduced God to the size of their biggest problem. Their confidence in Him stops short at the threshold of the problem or challenge or at the extent of their limited hope for themselves. Because of this faith-deficiency, they are destined to live with the problem. It can't be overshadowed or overtaken. It reigns supreme. It becomes their god when it goes beyond the reach of what they believe God can do.

"As a man thinks in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7). What a man thinks about God becomes the limit to what God is able to do in his life.

The Word of God is the substantive antidote to the poison that restricts our ability to think beyond our fears and to believe beyond our challenges.

"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17).

Faith from His Word takes us further so we can believe and see above our circumstances, through our problems, and beyond the bounds of our own short-sighted dreams when we understand that God is bigger than any challenge, more powerful than any threat, and more far-reaching than any of our best plans for ourselves in Him.

As we read, believe, and act on His Word we grow in faith. We become able to see God doing more so our problems shrink and our possibilities expand before us.
