How Big is our God?
I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed today. I’ve got a lot I want and need to do but not nearly enough time to do it. This pandemic has been a bit of a shock to the system. As I was taking my concerns to the Lord however I was struck with the thought: Is this trial making me see God as bigger or smaller?
