"How big is your God? Is He big enough to do anything, or are there limits (in your mind) to what God can do? What could you do today to begin to live with a bigger, better view of God?"

How's that for a Monday morning question?
I read this Thursday night. Before bed. And for two days, I prayed, "God who are you?"
Not head knowledge - Creator, Redeemer, Savior.
I wanted some heart knowledge. I craved for a picture of God that was out of my box. Not created by me or my memory from artists' imaginations or Sunday School literature.
"Who Are You? Who do you want me to see?"
In obedience, our Pastor Mark, shared Sunday during worship a word picture God had revealed to Him. It was what I needed. It was who God wanted me to see.
A Warrior God. Fighting against the enemy on my behalf. Defending me while I sleep. Surrounding me while I walked down the street. Sword drawn. Daring the darkness to try and touch His precious Child!
Safe. So safe. No weapon was going to harm me - it would not even come near me!
God loves to reveal himself to us. I am convinced more and more that he longs for us to see Him more in his fullness so that we may trust Him more.
He is not daunted by the question, "who are you?" He loves it! He wants us to ask!!
Do you dare? Are you ready? Are you willing to let God reveal himself to you today?
Ask Him!!
