"Let Faith Arise" -Too

"God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God." (Psalms 62:11) You know that old saying, "Can't see the forest through the trees", well that was the point I think God was trying to make; we really spend way too much time on the details of the problem to understand the solution or see the situation as a whole. God really does have everything handled! I like the way Louie Giglio put it, when he expressed his view of God prior to seeing one of the larger stars in our galaxy; it was like, "Prior to this, my prayers would be advising God, correcting God, suggesting things to God, drawing diagrams for God," etc. The point I think he was making, is that our God is a very big and powerful God, beyond our wildest imagination, He is incredibly big and powerful, we can't even begin to think that we can advise God how things should be done; let alone, try to figure out how He is working all things towards the good; that's not important when it comes to our faith in Him, as hard as it is for us to understand that. We sometimes feel, if we can't see the how everything is going to work out, then God's not working; but God does not want us to try and figure out every little detail to His plan, but to just have faith in His promises, and leave all the details to Him. Have you actually seen the details that God has put into His creations? Even the smallest living thing has such great detail; and we are worried about how God is going to work our little circumstance towards the good? It really speaks more about God speaking once, and we hearing it expressed over and over! We see it in creation, in our hearts, in revelations, in the light of reason; it just keeps repeating it over and over, God is great, God is powerful! And when it comes to hearing Him say how much He loves us; well what can I say...
"Who has believed our message? To whom has the LORD revealed His powerful arm? My servant grew up in the LORD'S presence like a tender green shoot, like a root in dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. He was despised and rejected - a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care. Yet, it was for our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We left God's paths to follow our own. Yet the LORD laid on him the sins of us all." (Isaiah 53:1-6)
