Deep Confidence in a Big God: How the Skies Help Us Trust More
When Life Feels Uncertain, Look Up
Have you ever felt like life was spinning out of control? Like everything you once counted on was now falling apart? I know that feeling. As a Christian writer who’s walked through storms, illness, fear, loss, I’ve learned that it’s often in the chaos that God reminds us of His control.
That’s what this article is about. I want to help you see God differently, bigger, closer, and more trustworthy, through something we often take for granted: the sky.
From Naked Eye to Nebulas
Before telescopes, people could only guess what existed beyond the stars. Their view was limited. In many ways, so is ours.
But now, we have images from Hubble and James Webb. We know of galaxies billions of light-years away. We’ve seen supernovas, solar flares, and black holes. And with each new discovery, one truth becomes more obvious: we don’t know as much as we think, but God does.
Small Me, Big God
Just think about it: Earth hangs in space, floating in nothing, spinning perfectly to sustain life. That isn’t chance. That’s intentional. And it points to a Creator so vast and wise that our minds can’t fully grasp Him.
Yet, He knows your name. He hears your prayers. He sees your tears.
That’s the paradox of faith. We are small, but we matter deeply to a very big God. And that realization builds deep confidence, not in ourselves, but in the One who holds everything together.
A Moment That Changed My Faith
I remember once standing outside after a hard day. Everything in me felt broken. But as I looked up at the stars, a thought hit me like lightning: The God who made this, He’s the same God who is with me now.
It didn’t fix everything. But it shifted something inside me. It moved my focus from fear to faith. From chaos to Christ. From smallness to the strength of the Almighty.
What the Bible Says About God’s Bigness
The Bible is full of verses that remind us how big our God really is:
Psalm 19:1 – “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”
Isaiah 40:26 – “Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these?”
Job 38:4 – “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?”
These verses don’t just point to God’s power. They also highlight our need for trust. A big God is worth leaning on.
What’s Holding You Back?
Maybe you’re struggling to trust God with your future, your finances, or your family. Maybe your prayers feel small or pointless. But the One who shaped Saturn’s rings can handle your tomorrow.
So how do we move from fear to faith?
