Started out this morning with heavy fog – fog has lifted, sun is shining but the wind has picked up and dark clouds are on the horizon.

Not a lot happening in our neck of the woods, just puttering around.

Psalm 92:5 O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

Usually I equate ‘great’ with something huge, magnificent but rarely consider small things – yet there are many small things that are great.  

The light bulb, small but has changed history.

Phone, fits in the palm of your hand, but it connects us with the world – and the new ones do amazing things.

Ball point pen, makes writing so much easier and allows anyone to put onto paper their thoughts and ideas.

When I think of the great things God has done – the works He has created – my first thought is the universe, the world around us, the trees, oceans, animals – but there is so much we cannot begin to see – even the finest microscopes are seeing more and more intricate things as they become more powerful.

We look at our hands and how He devised them to help us in our daily lives – pick up things, hold onto things, grasp, cling, encourage by touching another – so much that we cannot see, the tendons, muscles, bone, joints, blood vessels under the protective cover of skin – how wonderfully made is everything God has created.

Even the smallest matter is imbued with His greatness, planned to work together with other things to complete a ‘task.’

His greatness is all around us.

But we cannot begin to fathom all that He is, all that He does, all that He thinks.  We think we do, only to discover our thoughts are far different and but a skim of the surface of His, much like a film of foamy on the great ocean.

We all too frequently think of Him in terms of a man – we know Jesus walked on this earth as a man and we get hung up on His humanity and forget He is God.

We limit God with our thoughts because we cannot grasp how He works.  We try to tell Him how things should be done, without the understanding of what He is and what He wants to accomplish.

He is there for us.  He is more than a man that walked the earth, He is the Creator who put all things into being and meshed them together to form what we see, hear, smell, taste, feel – but there is so much more than we can understand.

As science learns more about God’s creations it becomes more evident that He knew what He was doing and did it perfectly.

We have to think of God as a Spirit, He doesn’t think or act as a man.  While we are created in His image, He is more than that image.

We must treat Him with the respect and love that He deserves and learn to worship Him with our heart and soul, not just our minds.

John 4:22-24  Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

²³ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

²⁴ God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

God is much greater than we will ever imagine, once we accept that fact than we can begin allowing Him to work in our life in a more meaningful way.
