I got lots of comments about my last post. I guess many of my readers are afraid of sharks as well ;)
My favorite part of the Steven Spielberg classic is Roy Scheider's improvised line, "You're gonna need a bigger boat".
When he sees the immensity of the beast the first time, he backs away slowly and delivers the much quoted warning to the captain. It is a brilliant line and a proclamation of true fear.
My problem is not the need for a bigger boat, but the need for a bigger God. God is the perfect size, omnipresent, omnipotent, and every other "omni" one could require, however, when I fail to trust His timing, His goodness, or His power, I "shrink" Him in my mind.
How big is your God?
