Big God small problem

"Big God, small problem; small God, big problem" - a pastor reminded us 2 Sundays ago.

How big is our God? Of course, how big He is is not dependent on our understanding of who He is. He is the Almighty God and it is a fact that He is big, so big our finite minds fail to comprehen His greatness even when the bible in Isaiah 66:1 states " Thus says the LORD: “ Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool."

When faced with the question "how big is your God?", it is not to discuss how big He really is but rather how do we relate to Him, how we view our problems and whether we trust Him totally to be who He is and what He promises to do. I am glad I was reminded again of who He is and what He is able to and willing to do. It is important at a time when I heard about the news of yet another young lady who went to be with the Lord. She suffered from lukemia and had a relapse a few years after her transplant.

I resolve not to wonder about the outcome of David's condition and worry about his need for more drugs and having more frequent medical reviews then before but to continue to trust and pray. David didn't share much with me about how he is feeling other than being tired. Please pray for him to be uplifted in his spirit and our family to continue to look to the Lord and be filled with thanksgiving offering praises to the Lord, that the joy of the Lord be our strength.

Please pray for Xinxin, the litte girl who has neuroblastoma--a very rare childhood cancer. She is not responding very well to her chemotherapy. Please pray that the doctors and her parents know what is the best treatment options and most importantly, command the aggressive tumour to be gone in Jesus name!

May we learn to allow our Big God to solve all our small problems and may we give Him the praises and adoration He rightfully deserves!

In His time, He makes all things beautiful.
