what is an element that society both adores and looks down upon? and this can honestly be said for all individuals.
Big things.
Someone might think a certain body size is too big, but they want the biggest screen tv...
Ugh, this book we have to read for school is too BIG, we don't want to read it. But we want a BIG amount of money..
This problem is way too BIG. But I do want a BIG amount of comfort, security, and acceptance.
I guess it only makes sense for humanity to want a big amount of the positive things in this life, and a small amount of the negative.
But what makes the most sense is how scared we are of the quantity.
We run away from the size of the negative, thinking that if we have a huge size of the positive; all of our problems will be solved.
Because, in all truth; big things scare us. You can ponder the obvious: dinosaurs, bullies, maybe getting lost in the ocean as a child.
And here is the blunt point of this blog post: God overcomes all sizes. All sizes of problems, attachments, materials, the world, the universe, this life. The biggest thing you could possibly imagine with the dimensions of your human mind, are just a speck of sand in God's hands.
New International Version (NIV)
33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”~ John 16:33
Society may worship big, and society may burn and beat big; but no matter what we do, God has big plans for each big thing in our life.
