How Big is the God You Pray To?

Acts 4:24 KJV
And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

When the believers prayed, under such great distress, they based their prayers in this sure truth; God made all that is.

The One who created all is surely sovereign of all.

He made heaven
And only those that He permits will enter there. It is not a free for all where anyone and everyone can enter based upon the religion of their choice. It is a closed community and entrance is accessed through one door; Jesus Christ.

He made earth
This planet produces exactly what God has chosen it to produce and will do so as long as God chooses. This earth will survive and meet the needs of mankind as long as the Lord deems it to do so. There is no creature on this planet that God has not created, that God does not love and that God does not rule over.

He made the sea
And it meets the needs of mankind as it is mete. In the days of this writing, the sea seemed of greater importance than perhaps even in our day. It was their main means of transportation as well as a major source of food.

He made "all that in them is."Including every leader of their day. Including those who had crucified Jesus Christ. Including those who had threatened them not to speak in His name.

In short, God is sovereign over all. He is completely and absolutely in charge.

That is the God they placed their faith in when they cried out in prayer.
