God in a Box?

*Please excuse the title if it offensive*



Isaiah 66:1-2 1THUS SAYS the Lord: Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house would you build for Me? And what kind can be My resting-place?
2For all these things My hand has made, and so all these things have come into being [by and for Me], says the Lord. But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard: he who is humble and of a broken or wounded spirit, and who trembles at My word and reveres My commands.




I am or WAS a person who would worry A LOT! I would worry about the bills, the kids, the car and I would even if my flowers were getting enough water! My husband is the complete opposite! I have been a Christian longer than my husband, but I didn't really have a relationship with God until we got married and I was own my own. When I was younger, what I knew of God was what my parents talked about. As a child, I didn't have much to worry about because my parents took care of everything. In a way, I didn't really need to depend on God. Their faith was my faith. As I got older and on my own, I couldn't depend on my parents. I had to depend on God. To be honest, I didn't trust God. I felt like I needed to do everything on my own. I didn't want to "bother" God. As I started to read my Bible more, I realized that God does care for me and He does want me to "bother" Him. God cares for us so much that he numbers the hairs on our head ( Matt 10:30) I started to know God for myself and I really trust him. I realize that I could not put Him in a box because He is too big. God is bigger than my problems and my circumstances.

This is a song that goes along with this post:
