“Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
your judgments are like the great deep;
man and beast you save, O Lord.”
– Psalm 36:5-6
Do you ever stop to think about just how BIG God’s character is? You should! He isn’t like us. Our good features have their limits. His don’t. That’s what the psalmist is exploring here. God’s love, faithfulness, righteousness, and justice simply have no limit. NONE! Here they are compared to the biggest things the writer could imagine…
- God’s perfect loyal, steadfast, faithful love stretches to the stars and beyond!
- God’s perfect faithfulness in all things wraps around the earth like the clouds in the sky!
- God’s perfect righteousness extends higher than the highest, most impassible mountain!
- God’s perfect justice toward all of His Creation goes unimaginably, endlessly deeper than we can understand!
Our God really is an awesome God. Don’t just, “yeah, yeah, I know” this glorious truth today!!! Stop and meditate on God. His glory. His majesty. His love. His faithfulness. His righteousness. His justice. How would you express these truths? To what would you compare them? Think about these things and delight in the Lord wherever you may be reading this. #FollowJesus
