God is SO much.

A few days ago in my quiet time I was reading a brief devotion about who God is. I can't really say that it was a totally revolutionary devotion time that taught me some new magnificent insite into who God is. I can tell you that it was an awesome time with God that morning though. I know that sometimes (probably most of the time) I tend to forget who God is. I don't mean that I forget, in that I don't have the knowledge in my head, but rather I forget, in that I take it for granted and it really does not significantly impact my daily life. I get caught up in the hustle and bustle and garbage of life. But during this devotion I was just reminded of who God is; how big, how powerful, how complete, how holy, how eternal, how necessary, how shocking. Anytime I think about God and who he truly is as the perfect Creator of all things, I always ask myself "why?". Why does He care about me? Why does He want to reveal Himself to me? Why does He guide me? Why does He pursue me? He has so much more to worry about and deal with and think about. Yet nonetheless, He wants to just stop, and be...with me. Wow.

I can't imagine what it would be like to have the President George W. Bush show up at my door one morning and say "Hey. Whatcha doin? Do you have some time to talk...to hang out a little?" That seems pretty far fetched and I know it is almost certainly never going to happen to me. However GOD, the "I AM" does exactly that to me every single morning. He shows up desiring to be with me, talk with me, and just hang out with me. That is just unbelievable! And the amazing thing about God is this....whatever it is that I need that day, God is! HE IS! If I need encouragement, He is an encourager. If I need healing, He is the Healer. If I need a kick in the rear, He is the Kicker. Whatever I need, He, the creator and sustainer of ALL things, IS! Wow...talk about something that will knock you square in the face right to the ground. He will. God is...SO much!
