The small human mind
Psalm 8:3-4
"When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?"
Who are we to judge God? He who made all things, who before time ordered the light into existence. Unbelief and doubt, two weapons of the devil, are constantly used to press down upon the faith of the saved. Two different objections have been raised in conversation lately to suppress the Truth of God as creator and LORD of all.
The first objection is that God is too small.
You've heard it before (or perhaps you have said it), "God cannot be all-powerful if he allowed sin into the world". This same sort of objection was thrown at Christ even as he hung suffering on the cross (Luke 23:35-37). We who are created dare hurl insults and challenges back at our creator. Consider this for one moment, we who cannot even comprehend or explain or fathom all of creation, raise objection to the creator. Try for a few moment to imagine the size of Jupiter's great red spot, it is large enough to contain two to three planets the size of earth...just trying to imagine something that big is hard enough let alone trying to understand the ways of Almighty God who created the entire universe. God is certainly not too small.
The second objection is that God is too distant.
You've heard it before (or perhaps you have said it) "God cannot possibly care about me or have an intimate close personal relationship with me, he is creator of the universe! how could be concerned with someone so insignificant as me?" Scripture has a response for this objection as well. Matthew 10:29-31
"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows".
God cares for his creation, indeed he does more than care for it, he sustains it daily! not just by taking care of big things like the planets and stars, but also by providing for the very simplest of needs like food, clothing, and shelter. Look no further than Psalm 139 to sing with the Psalmist the many provisions the LORD provides.
God is not too small to have power to save us, nor is he too distant to care. Our God is an awesome God who has created Jupiter, it's great red spot, the earth, and each and every one of us. Our caring God has ordained a plan of salvation that redeems each and every one of his chosen children.
The next time you are confronted by the Devil's weapons of unbelief and doubt, remember God has promised to remain faithful to his people. Call upon His name and you shall be delivered.
