how great is our God?

i haven't posted in a while. School is crazy and almost over for the summer (believe me i can't wait!)

i have a million and two things running through my head lately. With friends. With school. With yearbook. With God.

With God...He's so big. You may or may not have known that, so i'm here to proclaim it. He's huge!!! Bigger and more magnificent than we can ever hope or imagine. His Word says that His ways are high and His thoughts are vast. We can't comprehend Him. Our finite minds can't contain Him. Even the temple which Solomon built for God, in all it's beauty and splendor, could not hold God's presence...

Yet somehow, God became a man. Not just any man-a servant, the son of a carpenter. Jesus was born into a world full of sin and evil. He faced the same temptations we have, do, and will face. But He did so without sin. Therefore He was the only one who could be the once for all spotless, perfect Lamb. He was sacrificed. He was slain. He died. For us.

But, here's the thing, the Good News: HE IS RISEN! Just as He promised. On the third day, God raised Him from the dead.

"Because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." -Romans 10:13

Praise God for the gift of His Son, of redemption and forgiveness through His blood.

"For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life." -Leviticus 17:11

God is proving Himself to be more than i can swallow, more than i can handle. His ways are high. His thoughts are vast. But with Him, they are not impossible. With Him, all things are possible.
