How big is God? Well, do you have a footstool at your house? With our little kids, we have a bunch of footstools for kids to reach sinks and toilets and shelves. Do you know what God’s footstool is? Listen: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool” (Isaiah 66:1). How big is God? To God, earth is like a little footstool. That’s mind-blowing to think about, isn’t it? How foolish for us to fight against God’s Word. How ridiculous to think we should be the ones controlling our lives or our world. How sinful to turn our backs on the King of the universe and worship the little god we make ourselves in our hearts.
But as big as God is, here’s what’s amazing: He knows you. In fact, God doesn’t just know you. He died for you. Can you comprehend that? The God so big that the earth is his footstool decided to die for you and me. Jesus put us tiny creatures over himself. He humbled himself to raise us up. You must be so special. You must be so loved. Your life must matter so much. The next time you feel insignificant, think of this: “The God who’s so big that the earth is his footstool loves me and died for me and saved me!”
