Our God is Big

This morning while I was having my devotion at St. Arbuck’s, I glanced skyward and I saw an airplane faintly. It was a clear day, a beautiful blue sky, and I have really good eyesight. But it was still extremely hard for me to see the airplane. And then I realized: God is infinitely greater than the distance between me and that airplane. It was a theological truth I’ve always “known”, but never really experienced before. It was extremely humbling to know that the God who, relative to our own eyesight, sees us as smaller than atoms also knows every detail about us, and even further than, He decided to become one of us. Infinite power and immanence compacted into a single person. It is extremely awe-inspiring and multi-faceted, though overwhelmingly simple at the same time. Our God is great.
