In my estimation "thinking too small" about the difference God makes in our lives is one of the greatest shortcomings of today. The reading of Psalm 139 is a great remedy for days we think too small.
Here are a few excerpts...
"You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD."
"Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there;if I make my bed in the depths, you are there."
"even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you."
"How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand."
Awesome!!!
Jesus also lifts us out of small thinking by saying... "the gates of Hell will not prevail against the church." He also challenges the disciples small thinking by saying the miracle of feeding 5000 was not about bread! His message is about not following "yeast" of the Pharisees.
