What challenge
are you facing today
what difficulty looms before you today what obstacles are in your pathway today
what mountain is before you today
there is a God that's bigger than your mountain there is a God that is greater than your obstacles
there is a God that's larger than the difficulties you and I can go on to conquer
every mountain and in faith believe that through Jesus Christ you are a conqueror
maybe you're facing a challenge today that seems impossible to you maybe it's bigger than you can
handle but I want to remind you we serve a big God nothing is too difficult for him maybe you've made
God too small he is bigger than your challenge greater is he that's in you than he that's in
the world he is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you could ever ask or think today
how big is your God well the great D.L Moody the Evangelist was dying and he turned to his children
and it was reported that he said this and I quote if your partner is God make your plans large
our plans should be big sometimes we plan for small things and we forget that we're
dealing with the God of the universe the one that created the heavens and the earth Chuck Swindoll
said this and I quote the more you know God the bigger he becomes isn't that true as you go from
Genesis to Revelation and you're looking at all these different things that happen in the Bible
the people that God used the all the different events that happen you're looking at a God who is
mighty and big right and that is very helpful when you're going through a trial in your life
so here's the big question this is really what it all comes down to how big is your God
how big is your God can he do it or not whatever your issue is whatever your problem is whatever
your concern is whatever is threatening your life whatever is threatening your home your family
your marriage your children your livelihood whatever you're facing is God big enough
God has some supernatural solutions he'd like to introduce you to
God has some other answers for you if you and I would have the faith
to trust him to lay those things at his feet and say you know Lord I can't do this but you can
I can't solve this but you can I can't make this better I can't heal this I can't restore this but
you can and I'm going to put my trust in you see the how-to is none of your business you
keep getting in the way of the blessing because you all up in the how-to part of it show me the
scripture where he tells you to figure out how to do anything he don't ask you to how to nothing
you just need the word you need to know what it's saying applied to you you know why because it's a
promise of his he never lied he always come through the question is what are you looking
at are you focused on the problem or you're focused on the God that's bigger than the problem
if you focus on the problems you are going to tremble in fear rather than move forward in faith
fear exaggerates the problem faith sees beyond the problem to the God that wants to solve it
fear sees the problem as bigger than God faith sees God bigger than the problem
the issue is never the size of your problem it's always the size of your God
because if you have a small God there is no problem that won't be too big
and you will never ever ask God to do big things just won't happen because here's the thing even
when I say do you have a small God God doesn't get small it's just our vision of him is small
quit tying God's hands and take the limits off of him your situation is not too big for God
what you're dealing with it's not like God haven't seen it before
he's done it before he can do it again there's no sickness that God haven't healed
there's not a soul that he can't deliver there's not a marriage he can't put back together
but you gotta trust him and take the limits off of him but we do put limits on God sometimes in
our mind we have a version of what God is capable of we have a version of what God is like we have
a version of what Jesus is like we got to get rid of a small God we got to let go of a small Jesus
we got to stop worshiping a small savior he is the conquering king he is the king of kings and
the Lord of Lords he is bigger than you ever imagined he is greater than you ever imagined
we can believe him for big things because we know this he's a big God right he created the
universe this is how big he is so who is like me who holds a candle to me says the holy look at
the night skies who do you think made all this who marches this army of stars out each night counts
them off calls each by name so magnificent so powerful and never overlooks a single one
he numbers the stars and he calls them by name
he's not only big he's good I think that's so important the Psalmist says in Psalm 119 and verse
68 you are good and you do good he is good he he is good in ways you and I can't begin to imagine
he's big he's good but this is what's so amazing he's personal you know a God big
enough to speak galaxies into existence personal enough to know exactly where we're at in our life
he's a personal God how personal is he he delights in every detail of our lives
you can trust him for big things because he's a personal God
let me just remind you that no matter what you face greater is he who is in you than he who
is in the world let me just remind you that you are more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus
let me remind you you are the head and not the tail above and not beneath blessed in the city
blessed in the field let me remind you that with God on your side you will have the victory
