Is God really Big enough for this?

Every time I am cursed with having to go to Walmart, I try to make time to look at the covers of the "newspapers" on display by the checkouts.  Besides Bigfoot being sighted on his honeymoon with Nessie, there are always pictures, rumors, and huge headlines with famous people's names splashed across them.  The usual common themes?  Divorce, physical issues (who looks good in their swimsuit this season and who doesn't), and infidelity.  Many "stars" have been trading spouses and being either chastised or praised for it.

This proves the whole blog....

Why is this such a big deal?  Is this really all there is in life?  Is it about everything physical?  If we aren't happy, we need to eat what we want, sleep around with whomever we please, take what we want, and treat our bodies however we please. 

If you have been married longer than 15 seconds, you have had an issue come up. It's going to happen, so what do you do when it does?  If you don't have enough money to buy yourself a tropical island because you work at 7-11, should you be upset at the government?  If you aren't happy with the way you look due to multiple air brushed models being your ideal, should you go on the Bigfoot Diet?  God is big enough to handle all this stuff.

Psalms 56:3-4, 8-9  3 But when I am afraid, I put my trust in you. 4 O God, I praise your word. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?  

8 You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book. 9 On the very day I call to you for help, my enemies will retreat. This I know: God is on my side.
God is already there in ALL of it.  He said He would be and is.  Even when we don't see Him working and don't feel His presence.  It takes a mountain of faith to believe this in the lowest times of your life, marriage, relationships, loss of a loved one.  Even in our deepest pit, when we are His, we will be taken care of.

I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me, so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is no other. Isaiah 45:5

If we focus on God in ALL that we do, what happens?  He takes all the anger, pain, the hurt, and all the sorrow that we give Him.  He doesn't want you to feel like you have to carry it.  He doesn't want you to feel alone with it.  He wants to take care of you. 

Let Him.
