Our God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power ( of the Holy Spirit) that works in us ( Eph. 3:20). Because God is a great God, think great thoughts with confidence, knowing that your thoughts can never be greater than God. As we study the Bible and read His mighty acts, we marvel at His grewatness and claim to believe that He can do anything. But when it comes to a spiritual crisis, some believers ( by thinking small thoughts) reduce Him in dignity and power and act as though God is no longer all-powerful. We forget that He has all authority in heaven and on earth ( Matt. 28:18), that He created everything in this universe ( Gen. 1:1), and sustains all things in His universe ( Heb. 1:3). We forget that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever ( Heb. 13:8). His universal authority and power have not diminished. Therefore, think great thoughts, because you serve a Great God who does great things. He is immutible. He does not change ( Mal. 3:6); He is infallible ( James 1:13).
How great is your God in your
1. Thinking? Tell me what you think about your God and I will tell you how great He is in your thinking.
2. Vision? ( Proverbs 29:18).
3. Faith? No faioth, no God. Small faith, a small God. Great faith, a great God.
4. Service? Can you do all things through Christ? ( Phil. 4:13).
How great is your God? Is He greater than
1. Your personal problems? If He is, why do you worry? ( Phil. 1:12-14).
2. All your enemies? If He is, why live in fear? ( Is. 54:17).
3. All the obstacles of your life? If he is, why give up? ( 1 John 4:4).
Don't be an unbelieving believer.
( 1) Israel made their God look small at Kadesh Barnea, because they believed the evil report brought back by ten of the twelve spies. Only Joshua and Caleb believeed their God was more powerful than the giannts of Canan. The people chose to follow the unbelieving spies, and God sent them back into the wilderness for thirty-eight additioinal years. Their unbelief made God look small. They said, We saw the giants....and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight ( Num. 13:33). Grasshopper Christians always make their God look small in the eyes of the world ( Num. 13, 14; Deut. 1:1-46 and Heb. 3:7-12).
( 2) Israel's God was great in their eyes when they crossed Jordan thirty-eight years later; God caused the water to pile up and Israel crossed over on dry ground ( Josh. 6:1-17). Their God was a great God to them at Jericho where, by faith, the walls came tumblng down ( Josh. 6:1-20).
Pray that God will motivate a change in your attitude from fear to unlimited faith. Remember, our God is a great God; so think great thoughts with confidence to the glory of God.
