My God is so Great

Every week at Bible study I seem to think of a new topic to blog about, so this was it from last night (or it could have been that I hadn't eaten since breakfast, but that's another blog):

Do you remember the song "My God is so Great" from Sunday School? If not, let me remind you:

My God is so great,

so strong and so mighty

there’s nothing my God cannot do.

The mountains are His,

the valleys are His,

the stars are His handiwork too.

My God is so great,

so strong and so mighty

there’s nothing my God cannot do.

While we were discussion Ephesians 3 last night, I was struck by the verses 20-21 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” We constantly talk about the grandeur and greatness of God (and this is not to diminish that) but how often to we pay attention to the little things? When we pray, we pray for our leaders, peace, etc, but how often do we pray for the little things? Do you pray when your driving for the other drivers around you? Or at work right before you make a phone call or lay another roll of sod? We all know that the God of the great and big is the God of the small too, but how often do we acknowledge him for it?

I had a friend tell me once that he heard a speaker say he never finishes his prayer with “Amen,” but with something more like “see you later.” This may sound flippant, but the intention was that rather then end the prayer and going off on his own way, the prayer would be continuous, throughout his day and life.

So, my challenge for the upcoming week (for myself and anyone who is reading this) is to actively involve God throughout your day. It may be as simple as every hour saying “God be with me” or praying before every new task you encounter.

Just do it.
