Our God is Too Small or Our Big God
Our God is Too Small or Our Big God
Over at the “For the Love of God” blog, D.A. Carson takes up Psalm 139. He’s concerned that our God is too small:
There is a perverseness to human thoughts about God that would be risible if it were not so tragic. We find ways to make him small. A marvelous antidote is Psalm 139. It paints an exalted picture of God, yet does so in stunningly personal ways, as befits a psalm.
What are the “stunningly personal ways” the psalmist displays an exalted God? Carson details four:
God sees and knows everything (139:1-6).
God is omnipresent, and therefore inescapable (139:7-12).
God is Creator and providential Ruler (139:13-18).
God is utterly holy (139:19-24).
For helpful commentary on each of these points, see the whole post here.
Back To Southern Ohio Again
Behind the waterfall
Here we are back again in Southern Ohio. We landed at LAX then took the connection flight to CMH and we arrived at 10 EST. Dave’s mom and grandma came picking us up at the airport and then we decided to go to the Conservatory Park to see the butterflies and then had lunch. We were so exhausted and sleepy.
It’s almost three weeks since we came back from our first family trip and still we haven’t done unpacking! How crazy is that? Plus… some things we left behind that we didn’t have any change to put them back where they were belong before we left for Indonesia.
