The Most Important Thing

As I shared before, I've been reading the Anne of Green Gables series, and I am now in the eighth and last book, Rilla of Ingleside. They are talking about WWI and one character suggests that God views us as we view ants. Here is the reply:

"You forget," said Mr. Meredith, with a flash of his dark eyes, "than an infinite Power must be infinitely little as well as infinitely great. We are neither, therefore there are things too little as well as too great for us to apprehend. To the infinitely little the ant is of as much importance as a mastodon..."

It reminded me of Louis Giglio's "How Great is Our God" parts of which can be found on YouTube, but it is really worth finding the DVD to watch the whole thing. God is in the big things like stars and galaxies. He is in the small things like DNA and molecules and atoms and proteins. We don't understand either the big or the small completely, because our power in finite, but His power is infinite!

This is incredibly important to understand! A.W. Tozer said:

What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. The history of mankind will probably show that no people has ever risen above its religion, and man’s spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God. Worship is pure or base as the worshiper entertains high or low thoughts of God.

For this reason the gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he in his deep heart conceives God to be like. We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God. This is true not only of the individual Christian, but of the company of Christians that composes the Church. Always the most revealing thing about the Church is her idea of God.

That is just my favorite quote! I hope this inspires you to spend some time thinking about what you think of God and how GREAT He is!
