MY God is SO Big!

And David was greatly distressed; 

for the people spake of stoning him, 

because the soul of all the people was grieved, 

every man for his sons and for his daughters: 

but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God. 

I Samuel 30:6

The video above is of my kids singing about how BIG our God is.  It is just a reminder to you that if God is YOUR God, then you can be encouraged.  He is in control.  He is mighty to save.  He is all-powerful.  He is unchanging.  I could go on and on and never fully describe just how awesome our God is!  He is the same God that parted the Red Sea.  He's the same God that defeated the Israelites' enemies.  He's the same God that came here as a man and died for our sin.  He's the same God that arose from the grave.  He's the same God that saved us so graciously.  He's still God.   

You can trust HIM!

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.  

I Cor. 1:25

"You're Just Like Your Daddy!"

Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long 

time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, 

Show us the Father? 

John 14:9 

I used to play basketball when I was in high school.  I was an average player. My father, on the other hand, was a great basketball player.  One day in practice, I was running to the goal and I threw a crazy hook shot!  Joy of joys, it went in!  "Nothing but net!"  My coach said, "you play just like your father".  

If you know my husband, then you know that he is JUST like his father.  If you know my daughter, you know that she is JUST like her daddy.

The above verse was Jesus talking to His disciples.  He was telling them, "if you have seen me, then you have seen my father".  When you receive Christ as your Savior, then God the Father becomes your spiritual Father. (Rom. 8:16)  Did you know that God is your spiritual Daddy?  (Rom. 8:15)

When others see you, do they see your Father?  Do they know that you belong to HIM?  There will always be scoffers and naysayers who will never see good, even when the truth is in front of their faces.  Jesus talked about them too.  (John 8:44)  He could tell who their father was by their works.  

When God the Father sees us, He knows if we belong to Him.  He sees either pure righteousness (that's His Son's righteousness), or He sees our UN-righteousness (that's the filthy rags in Isaiah 64:6).  God knows and so should other people.  They should see us and say, "She belongs to Jesus."  It is to our shame when others can't tell who our father truly is.  It is to our shame when they see us and say, "if she's a Christian, I don't want any part of that!"  So again I say, to Whom do you belong?  Are you just like your Daddy?  No, you cannot be perfect until you get to glory, but you should be growing more like Him everyday.
