Huge

A fellow Geocacher and I were speaking a while back and were talking about the size of some of the containers we find. As we went down the conversational trail, we discussed how we thought there would be a “size window” where the containers hid out in the open would be discovered by non-game players.

Let me explain - our theory was that the container (cache) would need to be small enough to be obscure (about the size of a bullet), OR so big that it was ignored (maybe as big as a dumpster). If it was in the middle, those not playing this game may find it… Regular sized containers are about the size of a toaster (give or take) – our theory was that those would not work out in the open.

While out searching with the family last week, we found a cache (container) that was big. No, it was huge. It was big enough that the “hidden” container had the biggest cache we had seen inside of it. In fact the container in the container held at least 5 “regular” sized caches PLUS about a hundred other items PLUS room to spare (lots of room). The amazing thing is this cache is right out in the open. Available for anyone to find – they just have to be looking for it.

Isn’t that how it is with our God? He is so big that He is the Creator of all things. He is so small that He wants a relationship with each of us. He is so big that we worship Him. He is so small that we talk to Him all the time. He is, as He told Moses, “I am.” He is, as He told us, standing at the door and knocking. Available for anyone to find Him, we just have to be looking.


Now that’s a discovery worth making.
