David said, When I consider God’s heavens, the works of His fingers, the moon and the stars which He has ordained, (I am amazed) Psa 8:3
Why did our Lord make billions of stars? Wouldn’t a few thousand have sufficed? If he wants you limited or impoverished on this earth, why such an extravaganza in the heavens?
How could God want you to live in deprivation, when he created so much wealth all around you?
Why did He make such huge mountains and so many of them – full of treasures? What purpose would it serve if His followers are to live in scarcity and insufficiency?
Why did God create such vast oceans and fill them with such wealth, if He wants His people to exist in meagerness?
Why did He create so many huge trees? Why such vast deserts, such lush jungles, such enormous plains and such rich valleys? And why so many of them?
No parsimonious, tightfisted God cold ever have created the abundance that you live amidst.
Who is so great a God as our God? Psa 77:13
How great are His works! Psa 42:5
Great are His tender mercies. Psa 119:156
The Lord has done great things for us. Psa 126:3
Great is our Lord and of great power. Psa 147:5
When you consider Gods’ Big Connection, your mind stretches, your imagination enlarges, and you think big thoughts- you get big ideas. And when you think big, then you talk big and you act big.
Throughout our world ministry, whenever my wife, Daisy, and I faced impossibilities and our faith was tested, we got away from limited horizons and went to the mountains, or to the desert, or to the ocean and contemplated the greatness and the generosity of our Father. Our minds were s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d to God’s infinity.
We realized that our Lord had created all of earth’s abundance, and we were in His class of being.
