15 Encouraging Scriptures for Understanding How Big God Is
Recognizing How Big God Is Guides Us to a More Meaningful Life
When working on the Beach, Bible, and Belonging retreat theme, I was reminded of how big God’s love is. The magnitude of the beach and the ocean before me made me think of the magnitude of God in our lives.
I don’t know why I have a hard time fully comprehending how big God is. I make the connection as I take time to rest and reflect and look out into the vastness of the sea.
However, when the busyness of each day fills my moments, it can be hard to remember.
Have you ever felt that way?
If so, hopefully this can help. Pick up your nearest Bible, online works fine, too, and take a look at the following scriptures.
God tells us over and over throughout His Word how big He is and how He can overcome anything and anyone.
Wow!
That fills me with joy, with love, with awe. Doesn’t it you?
