All Most God

I don't know how many of you know about the ministry called 722, but for those of you who don't, 722 is a college ministry based in Atlanta, Georgia at Northpoint Church. It is probably one of the more incredible college ministries I have seen. Anyway, I just started watching this series on 722's website called All Most God. It's a four part series (the second part is missing which makes me sad) talking about who God is and what He is about. I've only seen the first part so far and let me tell you...amazing. So often we get wrapped up in ourselves and our circumstances that we fail to see God for who He is. He is All Knowing, All Powerful, All Present, All Merciful, the list goes on and on. Most of you would agree with me when I say all those things about God, and you could probably add some attributes to that list yourself, but do we really believe that? When life get's tough do we really rely on Him? It's so easy when things are going well to say "Yes, absolutely without a doubt!" It is so simple in the comfort of our sanctuaries to proclaim the greatness of our God, just as we should, but why don't we live it? When you get fired from your job, do you trust Him to be All Supplying? When He closes a door to a seemingly great opportunity, do you trust Him to All Knowing? When nothing seems to go your way, do you trust Him to be All Sovereign (just a side note: Sovereign is defined by Websters dictionary as-superlative in quality; of the most exalted kind; of an unqualified nature; having undisputed ascendancy; possessed of supreme power; unlimited in extent.)? Why is it that we say that God can do anything, but when it comes down to it, no matter how big or small a situation is, bringing it before God is the last thing on our mind? I guess the main question should be: When things aren't going your way, when life is hard, faith is uncomfortable or even inconvenient, when you are persecuted and opressed; is He almost God, or All Most God?
