God is Big

We all know God is big. I've always looked at it in terms of His power and might. But He is big in other ways. He is big in substance and purpose and meaning. What I mean by that is I used to think after being in Heaven for a couple thousand years we would begin to get bored. We would begin to lose interest. We would get tired. Life would lose its punch.

But that's not going to happen. In Isaiah 9:7 it says, There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace. In other words everything that has to do with God's government or peace will keep increasing. Government relates to power and might, but peace is a fruit of the Spirit. Peace relates to purpose and meaning.
We have a distorted picture of spiritual reality here on earth. Even when things are at their best sin is present. Sin clogs things up. Sin keeps God's Spirit from flowing. Things aren't what they are supposed to be. Things are a little cloudy. We look through a glass darkly. Things don't taste the way they should. The fruit is a little rotten. Things sound uncertain. The bell tolls a little flat. Fear, depression, and hopelessness are continually swirling around us. Trying to get to us. Trying to overtake us.
Imagine being free of all this. Imagine the Holy Spirit having full liberty to move in and through our lives as He can, as He should. Imagine the earth being filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Imagine the clarity of purpose and depth of meaning that will fill our hearts in such a spiritual atmosphere. There will be no room for boredom or losing interest in life. All will be full of life. Abundant life. All will be interesting. All will have purpose and meaning. We will see through glass clearly. Fruit will be a delight to our taste. Bells will ring a certain sound. Everything will be spreading out and increasing. There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace. There will be no end to the increase of purpose and meaning. There will be no end to the increase of life. It will be eternal life. It will be big and getting bigger all the time.
