Small God, Big God

"It is not the strength of one's faith that saves him or her but faith in a strong Saviour"

I read this quote this morning and it struck a thought in me - do I believe in a small God or a big God? Do I believe in a God who can raise the dead, part the sea and create the universe, or do I believe in a God who can heal a cold, cure a migraine and speak encouragement to my heart?

Would I rather have deep conviction in a small God (a God who limits Himself to works of great importance, magnitude and historical prominence) or a weak, but sincere, conviction in a big God (a God who is deeply involved and actively bringing about the miraculous on a daily basis within every sphere of His creation).

So as I sit in the Prayer Room I am meditating on the size of my God. Not the actual ability of God, but rather the size of my acknowledgment of His influence and activity. I'm quite certain that I function in a small God reality. If I'm honest, I don't have a lot of faith that God even cares about the running nose of the person beside me, because if I did I would be (at at least should be) moved with His compassion to administrate His healing to them.

Either I believe that God is lacking in compassion, or I am lacking in my scope of His compassion - and I'm pretty sure He is not the one lacking!!

So those are my thoughts this morning...
