A Vastness In God

For a long time now, since last spring, the Lord has impressed upon me the VASTNESS of Himself. As I experience this, I wonder why He wouldn’t just impress upon me the omnipresence of Himself. I was in a prayer session, praying specifically for missionaries when I first experienced this. So my thoughts were that God is impressing upon me, the fact that He is in all these foreign countries and I was praying as if it was hard for Him to touch hearts, minds and spirits in those areas. Simply, it is not hard for God.It is still in my spirit, the VASTNESS of God — nothing covers us or the earth like He does. He is our protector and provider, in every place or situation that we may be, He is there. This is a simple but a great truth.
I confess that I watch more than my fair share of the cable news shows and listen to more NPR news more than any individual should. Somehow though, with all that I hear, I have not internalized what I hear. I’m not saying this with a sense of pride — I’m saying it with a sense of awe, that God really can keep us in a place like this. I think that “the news” is a good indication of how we need to pray. And I think that we still have to be wise and be good stewards based on what we hear, but we don’t have to let it get in our spirits and create a sense of despair. In the spiritual realm, this seems to be a time of opportunity — a time of harvest. I have a sense of abundance and a sense of the VASTNESS of God covering this earth.
I would just say to anyone reading this, trust in the Lord, simply. If you lose something literally or figuratively, God is great enough to provide even better. This is a reality. It may not manifest as you plan, but as someone who believes that Jesus was and is — it will manifest within the good plan that God has for you. I believe this to be such a time of opportunity, in many ways. It is so in my spirit, each morning — a sense of expectancy. There is something great, and it’s just around the corner. I can’t seem to convey this as strongly as I feel it, but again God is nudging me to trust Him even in conveying this.
Plentifullness, greatness and fulfillment is in God. He covers the earth, He covers us — there is a VASTNESS in God. Even in a practical way, He is our everything, in every way. Let Him prove himself.
