I bought this book recently for Rhyan--who is a big reader already! I loved it for its illustrations and for its reminder of just how big God is. He's loving the book and has memorized every page. He especially loves singing the spiritual hymn that the book is based on. It delights me to see him singing, dancing and asking me why does God have the whole world in His hands. I tell him because God loves us and because He's a great big God who can do anything but fail. Our nightly readings are becoming a reminder for me as well. God is big and He's big in my life. All I have to do is look back and see what He's done and rest in the fact that He can deliver me again whenever I need him to.
"Your righteousness reaches to the skies, O God, you who have done great things. Who, O God, is like you? Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up."
- Psalm 71:19-20 (New International Version)
