God is Bigger Than...Me

Introduction

Scene from Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Two Hobbits are running through a forest trying to escape their enemy.

As they are scared, being chased down, felling all alone and helpless, they try to escape by climbing up into the trees. Their enemy has them cornered and when they think that all hope is lost, something unexpected happens. The tree comes to life and stomps their enemy.

When we are not fully aware of our true surroundings, we can get caught up in the drama unfolding before our eyes and fail to see something or someone much bigger is present. When we feel scared, chased down, all alone and helpless, we need to remember that God is Bigger than our enemy. God is Bigger than our circumstances. God is Bigger than this world we live in. God is certainly Bigger than Me!

Psalm 139:1-24

1) God is All-Knowing (vs. 1-6)

God not only knows everything, but He knows everything about you. (vs. 1-3)

God not only knows everything about you, but He knows you! (vs. 4)

He has us in His hands: protection, comfort, peace, shaping and molding. (vs. 5)

2) God is All-Present (vs. 7-12)

3) You are God’s Creation (vs. 13-16)

4) Value the God who is Bigger Than You (vs. 17-24)

Conclusion

Do you still stress and worry about all the cares of this world? Are you still trying to control things that you can’t control? Are you missing out on what God has in store for you because you’re focusing on problems instead of God? STOP and remember that GOD IS BIGGER. He is bigger than me. He is more important than me. I need to focus on Him and turn the attention of my life to Him.
