Isaiah 6:1

There are select GIANT things in this world that inspire us when we see them: the Eiffel Tower (A HUGE steel structure), the Statue of Liberty (a HUMONGOUS statue), the Notre Dame (a GINORMOUS church), the Grand Canyon (A GIANT...well a giant canyon), and...my head. Yes, I will admit I have an abnormally large head. This has been my burden since I was younger. To be honest it's a lot better now than when I was in middle school. As a 7th grader I was trapped in a smaller body, but the same head size you see today (I'm sure some of you are laughing right about now). Disproportionate? Definitely! However, I always explained to people that it's only bigger because I have such a huge brain (now most of you are definitely laughing). I've been called many fun little nicknames like: peach on a toothpick, bobble-head, big head, etc (all of these are so creative aren't they). Do you want to know the circumference of my head? You'll have to ask me in person! Bahaha! Anyways, there are much more grandiose things to gawk at in our world today. I listed a few, but have any of you really thought about how big God is? Probably not. Read the above verse again. Let's break it down real quickly: as for this train of a robe talk, the train of someone's robe is the part that drags on the ground. The temple Isaiah is talking about is a HUGE place! The room Isaiah is probably referring to is 90 x 60 feet! This means that the very end God's robe fills up this entire room. Now, does this mean God is only so tall? Could we measure God? Definitely not! What Isaiah is giving us is a concrete picture of the fact that God is big.

However, how does this affect us in any way in our daily lives? Easy, because we serve a big God, a God who holds the earth we live on in His hand. The God who placed the stars which are millions upon billions of lightyears away into this solar system. He is the God who sustains the very gravity that holds our planet in place. And He is the God that is in control of everything that happens on earth for forever. This is the God who says He loves us (Isaiah 43:4), gave up everything to save us (Romans 5:6-8), and will eventually create a new heaven and earth so we can be with Him for forever (Revelation 22:12-13). He is big, and He is loving, and because He is so big there is no need to worry or stress because He's always there with you (Joshua 1:9.
