Men imagine that the Most High is moved by sentiment, rather than actuated by principle. They suppose that his omnipotency is such an idle fiction that Satan is thwarting his designs on every side. They think that if he has formed any plan or purpose at all, then it must be like theirs, constantly subject to change. The openly declare that whatever power he possesses must be restricted, lest he invade the citadel of man's "free-will" and reduce him to a "machine." They lower the all-efficacious Atomenment, which has actually redeemed everyone for whom it was made, to a mere "remedy," which sin-sick souls may use if they feel disposed to; and the enervate the invincible work of the Holy Spirit to an "offer" of the Gospel which sinners may accept or reject as they please.
The "god" of the twentieth century no more resembles the Supreme Sovereign of Holy Writ than does the dim flickering of a candle the glory of the midday sun.

This quote digs deep within me, revealing more to me that God is not big enough in my sight. It is true that God can never be big enough in our sight, but so often the picture of God I see is not the Almighty King of Everything. No, instead I see Him, at times, as a frail being who sits on the wayside. Our view of God should always be filled with the truths of Scripture and His immeasurable holiness. Oh, how I pray that this would be true for all of God's Children.
