The Size of God

Psalms 139:5-10--- Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

The size of God in your life depends upon how honest and truthful you can be with Him and with yourself. When you know there are things within you needing attention yet you ignore these things, then God is diminished within you because you have not permitted Him to work fully and fruitfully within you. The size of God within you is also determined by how much you trust Him. To trust God is a supremely mature act. Most of us want a written statement or a written guarantee things will be alright. We are willing to trust God only if God proves to us we have no need to trust Him. We are willing to trust God if we do not need to run any risk. To trust our unseen God who speaks to us only in quiet whispers requires us to put our whole person or whole being into His hands. This is hard to do. Yet we know we can trust Him for we instinctively know He loves us and He would not fail us.
