God is Bigger!

Photo taken during a recent walk through downtown

I went for a walk a couple days ago, and - I'm being transparent here - was pretty bugged. It was just one of those days, nothing was wrong, but everything just rubbed me the wrong way. So I did something productive, and went for a walk outside. I took along our 7 week old baby, Isaiah, so he could get some outside time too.

It was then, 2.5 miles away from my house, in the middle of bustling downtown Seattle, that I was struck with something incredible - God is Bigger. Bigger than me, bigger than my son, bigger than the church, bigger than the things we let consume us. I looked up and saw an old, majestic church reaching high up into the sky, and in the background was painted a gorgeous textured blue sky. God's majesty goes so far beyond us, so far beyond the things that we experience on a daily basis! God is bigger! 

The irony of the situation was not lost on me. I'm holding our baby boy, whom I love dearly, ignoring the love my Father was trying to show me. It was in that instant that I was overwhelmed with how big God is and how much He loves and cares for me. I simply had to stop and be overwhelmed. I just sat still in busyness, letting the Spirit work in my heart, worshiping my Creator.

This blog post is a little different, but hopefully after reading it, you'll take a minute to stop and appreciate the glory of God. He's so far above our daily tasks, above any church building, above ourselves. The best thing we can do is come together and humbly worship our Savior.

May God bless you this week.
