Those seemingly giant obstructions and issues in life (like where to go to college and who to date and what to have for dinner) are nothing compared to God. You remember that big problem you thought you'd never get over on March 23rd, 1998? Or that gigantic issue that seemed to mess up your life on November 15, 2003? I certainly don't. Why? Because my God is so much bigger than those things. Of course, problems still taunt me daily, but it comforts me to know that, when I present the troubles to God in prayer, "they'll melt like wax" before Him. I'd LOVE to see that!
When you have a better understanding of who God actually is, you have a deeper awareness of His presence and power in your life. Suddenly, that colossal obstruction will turn into a miniscule puddle of wax, and that binding fear of a new-college chapter will disappear as you rely on the promise of God's protection. As Psalms 97:6 points out, God isn't a distant Santa-Claus figure bowling on occasion, or a "big guy in the sky"; instead, He's everywhere, present in all of His creation. The next time someone asks you who God is, just take a look around you: He is closer than you think, and greater than you could ever imagine.
