Our God is Too Small

By Jared Dees

My wife shared this video with me. It’s a part of Matthew Kelly’s Advent video series.

Watch: “A God of Miracles” by Matthew Kelly

From the transcript:

Our image of God is too small. We shrink God so we can try and get our heads around it. We live in a culture that wants to understand everything, so we try and shrink God down so we can try and understand him. But you can’t. That’s not possible. Our God’s a big God. And he’s a God of miracles.

But let me ask you: when’s the last time you asked God to do a miracle?

When Jesus gives a reason for healing someone in the Gospels, do you know what he says?

He says, “your faith has healed you” (Lk 17:19).

Maybe my image of God is too small.

When was the last time I asked God to do a miracle?

Do I have 100% confidence that he will answer my prayer?
