God is not really involved in my life.

Some of what was written in lie #1 applies to this lie as well.



God is so big. He has so much to take care of with wars and natural disasters and stuff like that. I find it hard to believe that He cares about what is going on in my life.



My family and I travel quite a bit for six months out of the year. Recently we took a trip to Alabama for business. Some of you might know of the terrible storm over there and over into Georgia. After a nine hour work day we drove to Walmart for milk and such. We could hear the tornado siren going of for the fourth time that day. So we hurried. The minute dad pulled the truck up and we were heading out of the store a lady with a Walmart apron started directing everyone back in side to the center of the store! My mom ran out and got my dad inside before they locked the doors. For the next 45 minutes we sat staring at the men's jean section listening to the whirling wind and buckets of rainfall. I don't know about you but I've never been stuck in a store before. Not cool.

We stayed at a hotel planning on driving home the next day. At about five in the morning we lost power. We could here the storm raging outside and to think that we just got the outskirts! On the highway we couldn't see much damage at all except some bent trees. However the further we went the worse it got. Trees were torn limb from limb, exit signs ripped from the ground and wrinkled like foil! That's when I knew we were looking at a tornado path. The road was barely cleared and yet to our left we could see a horrible trail through the forest where the monster had traveled. It hit a small exit with a hotel and I saw people with bags over their shoulders bearing glum faces. All this only an hour from our very own hotel. God protected us. I knew without a doubt that the same storm that killed 20 people in Alabama and Georgia passed over us with harmless growl!

God not involved? No, if He seems far from us it is because we have grown away from Him.

Everyone has their story of God's provision. It's those times I need to be dwelling on when I can't see the answers. When my passions are cut short because of circumstances I can rely on myself, not God who I believe is to big for this stuff or I can realize that my attitude towards my mom right at the moment means just as much to Him than anything!

Imagine for a moment the man you will marry or your spouse. Think of their love and then magnify it for eternity. Impossible right? That is Jesus's adoration for you!

Oh the times we don't recognize His hand in all the little details.

We believe in a BIG God right? So lets not shrink Him into man's perspective.
