Good Morning Champion
Bask in the Bigness of God
Acts 9:40 (New International Version)
Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.
This was a very serious situation where Peter had been called to raise a woman named Tabatha from the dead. This was “need a miracle” territory. Notice what he did before he dealt with or even faced the problem-- he prayed! Then he turned and dealt with the miracle-needing situation.
Notice that before he looked at the seemingly impossible mountain, he spent time “basking in the bigness” of his God who says all things are possible to those who believe. This empowered him with the confidence to turn around, look at the situation full on, and do what was seemingly impossible.
Hey Champion, when you find yourself in a time of challenge or a moment when you are needing a miracle here is some good advice someone once gave me. The very first thing you need to do is take time to “bask in the bigness of God”. This will enable you, as it did Peter, to correct your perception concerning how big problems and situations really are and also remind you how B.I.G your G.O.D is in the moment of challenge.
When you take time to bask in the bigness of God everything else is reduced to its true beatable size. The reality is that when you are needing or desiring a miracle you have the choice to bask in the bigness of one of two things, either the problem or the God who is bigger than any problem – your choice. You have to choose one as you cannot bask in the bigness of both.
Bask as Peter did in the bigness of God!
Have a great day.
