pocket-sized

Question: Do you believe in Jesus? 

Not just in who He is, and that He is real. Do you believe He has power and authority? Do you believe that He can never not love, never let us down, never not come through? Do you believe that if you died, truly let your worldly-self fall to the ground, shed all your selfishness and self-interest and gave yourself fully to God, do you believe that He could live a life through you that would teach you, amaze you, satisfy you, thrill you, and fill you more than any other kind of life could? Do you truly believe that Satan is weak and pathetic in the face of our God? Do you believe that Jesus has relevant power in this modern world, or is it just some dusty, storybook kind to you? Do you believe God has power over war? Disease, pain and illness? The internet? History? The 6,900 un-reached people groups? Obama? Do you believe there is power in His name? Do you believe there is power even in the cloak upon His back? 

Do we shrink our mighty God? Do we reduce Him down and fit Him into a pocket-sized version we can get our minds around? In doing so, do we limit His power? Do we close doors and possibilities for God to be as awesome as He actually is? God will only go where He is wanted. If we push Him aside, lock Him out of our daily things, say "I've got this", what can He do?

Open your mind to the God that is bigger, greater, mightier, better, and more powerful than anything on this planet. Let God to be a big Hero, a Man you trust wholly with your whole self. Humbly, quietly take yourself and your stone heart, your forever dreams and frustrations, your heavy, dirty sin, your hidden self and your outer shell, your angry hurts and violent desires. Friends, lay at His feet all you are, all you carry, and take the beautiful exchange.
