Incredible God

Ephesians 3:18 - And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. (NLT)
I was thinking about the Father's love and just how He views things. I mean He is a Big God and the things that concern us are little crises, small problems. No matter how enormous we think it is, to him....Big God, Little Problem.
If we could focus on Him, and not on the situation, think how much less stress we would have in life. So...as I pondered, I decided to research and see how deep the ocean is and how high the sky is. Wow, His love is incredible, it extends to even greater heights and depths than these........
How deep is the ocean; how high is the sky?
At its deepest, in the Mariana Trench, located in the Pacific, the ocean reaches 6.856 miles.
The troposphere, which includes the layer of air we breathe, is about 10 miles high, but the atmosphere extends upward more than 600 miles.
Rest in Him, He loves YOU!!

"Big God, Little Problem"
What's awesome is that @ 6.856 miles deep in the ocean it's dark, cold, and unknown. We need special gear to explore that deep- oxygen tanks, pressure suits, lights, etc. God doesn't need those things he sees straight to the bottom of the ocean, and the end of the atmosphere.
In that retrospect we can use that towards our lives. We can only see what's immediately in front of us. Our problems, crises, or concerns seem so monumental to us, but only because we can't see the whole picture.
He is oh so BIG!! thanks for the reminder!
Thanx, I will - back attcha! :)
Wow! What an amazing awesome God. Thanks for the much-needed reminder.
Remember that old Bee Gee's song, "how deep is your love"...that was nothing! How deep and wide and high and unending is God's love!! As usual, another wonderful post.
That's a great way to look at it. I sometimes allow myself to get wrapped up in my problems & forget that He is waiting to handle them for me. :-)
that is a very good rationale. It should be tatooed on the forehead of every Christian...LOL..in reverse...LOL, so they can read it everytime they look in the mirror!
You rock!
