I'm so bored of little gods
While standing on the edge of something large
While standing here so close to You
We could be consumed
What a glorious day
~ David Crowder Band - 'How Great'
The Bible says in Hebrews 12:29 that our God is a consuming fire. Jeremiah knew that it is only by His mercies that we are not consumed. (Lamentations 3:22) He is a great and awesome God.
Sadly, all to often we substitute 'little gods' in His place in our lives. In doing so, we back away from the edge of all He wants to be and to do in us.
