Did you know that you can’t exaggerate God? Think about that for a minute – you can embellish the size of the fish you caught last week, your bowling average, your position at work, how much money you make and a number of other things but NOT God. The all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present Creator of the universe is far bigger than we can even imagine but we can turn to scripture to gain understanding of our God.
So, grab your Bible…
