BIG GOD

Psalm 65:5-11 You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds, God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas, who formed the mountains by your power, having armed yourself with strength, who stilled the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations. The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy. You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it. You drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers and bless its crops. You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance.

Thoughts from this passage:

This passage reminds us that when God answers our prayers, it will be awesome, and it will be right. So, we should expect joyfully. Having God as our Savior should make us feel safe in this dangerous world. And when the going gets tough, we can put our hope in Him because He is powerful. Like he formed the mountains and all their beauty, He formed us too unique and one of a kind.  Indeed, we are because we are created with the hands of the most magnificent God.

And if don’t have peace because of the storms in our lives or turmoil in the midst of us, we can seek His presence because in Him there is peace. He can still make the impossible possible today as He had done before. With Him, we can sing praises and be full of joy even if our lives seem to be so dark or everything seems hopeless.

 He promised to drench furrows in our lives so that we will not wither. He can level ridges in our lives so that we will not stumble. And He is a God that blesses us bountifully so that we don’t need to worry in times of need. Our God is truly a BIG GOD!
