Our Big God

They forgot the God who had saved them 
Who had done great deeds in Egypt 
Psalm 106:21


When I am faced with an obstacle or situation that looms large before me
I can measure myself against it
Lose heart
When I feel myself thinking

I need to be reminded that God is big
It’s nice to have a friend or family member take hold of me 
And remind me
I even better when I remember how to remind myself

How many times has God saved me?
Every single time
Then out loud
Or on paper if it helps to see ink on the page as proof

I list all the times God has come through for me or the people I love
Every time I thought there was no answer and He answered me 
Or give me new questions.
Every time I thought I would fall apart and He held me together

Every time I thought I wasn’t enough
He showed me that with Him, I was
Every time I was inconsolable
He consoled me
