“Behold, God is mighty, but despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding. Job 36:5

There is no way to measure God’s size, since He is in the entire universe, taking care of everything. So how do we know what He looks like if we are mere humans without the ability to do so? But one day in heaven we will know Him as we are known by Him (1 John 3:2). This is the time to know the Lord (Hos. 6:3) and do His will; We cannot be silent or still.

God created the universe. He controls all the galaxies and does not allow any of them to leave their orbit. He maintains life on earth, both of which we can see with the naked eye and the microscopic one, which is infinitely smaller and more complex than ours. Some of these tiny beings are very harmful to human life, while others are fundamental to our survival. The Most High cares for all living beings.

In meditating on God, David realized that He was too big to be understood, and in a flash of thought, because he could not describe His size, asked what man is so that the Father will remember him. But we have good news: He created us in His image and likeness (Gen. 1:26, 27); therefore, it knows the cells that make up our body, examining them at the same time and knowing, every fraction of a second, what goes on in each one. What a tremendous God!

The Lord is greater than our problems and can solve them in the blink of an eye. Because He is omniscient, He knows all about us, having recorded what happened to us while still in our womb. The Creator followed our conception and molded us as we are (Ps 139). He is the real God!

When the leper in Matthew 8:1-3 realized who was there in Capernaum, he ran to Him and kneeling, exclaiming, Lord, if you will, you can make me clean (v. 2b). In his understanding, Jesus could do what was necessary for him to heal. God is good. Even those who do evil are loved by Him, and if they repent and accept Christ as their Savior, they will be good people (Acts 2:38).

The Master showed that he knows everything that happens in the world when he sees Nathanael being brought to Him. At that moment, Jesus said that he was truly sincere (John 1:47). Nathanael was concerned not to be deceived, and when Philip said that they found the One the Law spoke of and came from Nazareth, he asked if something good could come from that city. He had stepped into the leaves of a tree and prayed that God would allow him to know the Savior. Hearing Christ say that he saw him there, he knelt down and said that He was God (John 1: 43-48).

Jesus chose to meet the disciples who were in trouble at sea, walking on the tumultuous waters, and made Peter also walk over them (Matt. 14:22-33). What man can do that and, moreover, in the middle of the rough sea? To Him darkness is like light – nothing escapes His sight. The Lord saw you and called you to walk with Him. Go on!

In Christ, with love,
