God is the biggest and also the smallest something in the universe.

Is Holiness felt or does it reveal itself in a still, barely perceptible and most minute voice? God is the biggest and also the smallest something in the universe. God is the Master, Ruler, Maker and upholder of all that we see and even what we cannot see Hebrews 1:3. God made the mountains and He made the atoms that make up the grain of sand in the mountain. Is it harder for God to make a mountain than a grain of sand? Or does it take Him more time, wait, God made time for us? Does He have to stir Himself up to make a mountain and only blink to make a grain of sand?
            Something inside of us already seems to have the knowledge that these are ridiculous questions, if you have a brain and are living and breathing your God given reason tells you that it must be the same for God, as long as he is God. Thus, God must be the biggest and also the smallest something in the universe. Scientists are continually reaching to smaller and smaller particles of matter, splitting the atom and reaching into it’s core, but God is already there. Astronomers are continually reaching out farther than they ever have. What will they find when they get all the way out? Is there an all the way out? But God is already there.
            But God, is a whole ‘nother subject that I will only touch on here. Take all the problems and questions in the universe, all it’s mysteries and attach “but God” Ephesians 2:4 at the beginning end or middle and it gets either smaller or larger, it cannot stay the same, unchanged or as mysterious for long with those words (I feel another blog post squeezing it’s way out).
            Thus, as we pursue the Holy One See primer in earlier blog posts we find Him in the large issues, events and problems of our life and also the minutest, most insignificant details. Are the most monumental
concerns and problems of our life more important than the minute? Just as the grains of sand Jeremiah 5:22 and hairs on our head are numbered Matthew 10:30, so to, the big and the small issues and events of our life.
            If you follow me on this, perhaps each is as important and in another light inconsequential.
Is it our external problems or our soul, our living breathing, acting out, worrying, sinning soul that God is more concerned with? Each are alike to Him. Hence, when we get bent out of shape at His seeming inaction are we not focusing on the large and ignoring the small? When everything is going just ducky, is he working on the minute or the large? Does it mean that God is better, more powerful, more inherently good and active in our lives, when our large problems seem small?
            It seems that the moment I become satisfied or conscious of the change God has wrought in me that he evaporates and a new struggle for the infinitesimally small begins. Troubles begin to plague me, until my attention is once again on Him and not my small, wormy Psalm 22:6, little world.
            The minute I “feel” more “holy” it seems the trouble begins. The minute I “feel” my problems are too big or too small I have cut God out of the equation. God feels, he made feelings, Jesus had feelings and sorrows and grief Isaiah 53:3. He cares about our problems big and small Matthew 6:26.
Am I to stop feeling to be holy as He is holy 1 Peter 1:15 , and put on some Halloween mask of pasted on smile? Did He? That may be the most unholy thing we can do.
            Holiness may be to be with Him in the small as well as the BIG. To be affected but maintain not only our composure but our sanity and our search for the High and Lofty ONE Isaiah 57:15.
