Big God

I spent the night tonight watching the video "How great is our God" by Louie Giglio. Louie is the creator of the Passion Conferences. God has really blessed him with great ability to understand some big concepts about Himself and with the ability to communicate it to others.

The message of this DVD is that God, the "Star breather", the one who created this amazingly huge universe, also created our inmost universe and understands our inmost needs. See the image at left for a picture of how God created the Heavens...an amazing black hole at the center of the perfectly turned spiral galaxy...just for us to find and see...

On the inmost front, you see the image at right...a perfect cross that is found in the structure of our cells. This is the structure of the human body, what holds us together. It is not just a diagram, there are pictures of the same structure, called Laminin. So...in the deepest of space to the smallness of our beings, God has marked things with a cross...because in His plan, He knew the cross would be needed. Well before crucifiction was invented, He knew it would be needed. And He was prepared for it. I have often wondered what it must have been like to created the particular tree that He knew would some day be used to crucify Himself...

When we see and understand this, it can change the way we see Him and maybe even how we pray...because we tend to try to direct, guide or just simply tell God how He needs to make things. As I told the group, it reminds me of J. Vernon McGee's quote: “This is God’s universe and He does things His way. You may have a better way, but you don’t have a universe.” God has a universe...I don't...

Well, I urge you to watch this video. We may even do it as a Youth thing. I found the videos still listed at the following blog: http://mp3pray.com/howgreatisourgod/

Remember, we worship a Big God...if he can do all this and plan for all this...how can we not trust him in our trials? Think about it...
