My God Is So Big...

One of Ella's favorite songs for me to sing with her is My God is So Big. The words of the song go like this (feel free to sing along).....

My God is so big, so strong, and so mighty
There's nothing my God cannot do!
My God is so big, so strong, and so mighty
There's nothing my God cannot do!
The mountains are His, the rivers are His
The stars are His handiwork too!
My God is so big, so strong, and so mighty
There's nothing my God cannot do, for you!

In the midst of a hard day, I found myself thinking about my niece singing this song with all her might. When she sings it, she puts emphasis on the characteristics of who God is by screaming BIG, STRONG, and MIGHTY! She knows some pretty simple, yet fundamental, truths about the God of the universe!

Today was hard, but not hard enough for God. He has it all under control and just thinking about my sweet Ella singing that song made me realize that I was too consumed with my hard day to remember those truths. I was reminded tonight from God's Word, that He doesn't need me, for anything! He is self-sufficient! He measures the oceans in the palm of His hand, universe in the span of His fingers. He is bigger, stronger, and mightier than my feeble mind can conceive. He has it all under control. How? Because He is God! Why? All for His glory! When? At all times! Why is it such a struggle for me to let go of control and let God handle my life?! That is a much-needed break that He offers for me, and I neglect to allow Him to do so! He's not done with me yet! God is so good... :)

If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
for the world and its fullness are Mine.
Psalm 50:12
