The scantiness or the fullness of your life all depends upon how large a God you have! . . . The God of Paul was a very glorious and mighty Being, and it was the greatness of his God that gave greatness to his character and life. He was but a vessel to receive and reflect the glory of God. "The people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.' Daniel 11:32 KJV The people who have learned to clothe themselves with His Almightyness are the people of enlarged vision and victorious faith. Human (Christian) heroes are honored for the measure in which they have dropped out of sight and simply magnify Him. It is not Elijah, but Elijah's God that we remember. It is not Paul, but Paul's Christ who we want. -A.B.Simpson

If I am going to see God move in the issues of my life, if I am going to have a powerful and effective prayer life, I've got to be able to visualize Him truly being 'bigger than what's the matter.' I've got to see that there is not a bully in front of which He cowers, from which He runs. But, I also have to see Him - and accept Him - handling every one of my concerns in a way that most uplifts Jesus and, therefore, most glorifies His Name. Though Steve Mounts is the incredible beneficiary of Jesus Christ' grace - as will all people be who turn to Him for salvation - for Jesus does all things well (He really does if we will wait for Him and watch Him work!) - in this sense of things, there is no Steve Mounts in Jesus. He must increase and I must decrease.
