OUR VAST GOD!

Psalm 36:5-7 Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; 

your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. 

Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. 

You care for people and animals alike, O Lord. How precious is your unfailing love, O God! 

All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.

Wow!  When we read all the extravagant words the Psalmist uses in this one psalm to describe our God’s attributes, it’s wonderful. His love is unfailing, He is faithful, righteous, just, caring. Then in v.9 For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see. In other words He is the source of our whole lives, the One who holds the inspiration and provision for our never ending future in Him. He is the One whose wings are covering and protecting our every breathing moment. 

Our God is more wonderful than we can ever begin to imagine but sometimes we forget in the midst of the humdrumness of our lives, or the battle we’re going through from one day to another! So the next time you’re thinking what an ordinary day you’re having, or how difficult your circumstances are, or how deep your pit is, may I encourage you to get these verses out and have another read and allow the Spirit of God to give you hope.😊

Whatever our minds and eyes have been fixed on this past week, let’s not forget the Holy Spirit tells us in Hebrews to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. He’s also the Creator of all we see and all we don’t see, the One who upholds all things by the word of His power, including you and me. 

So if you can still open your eyes and your pulse is still beating, let’s praise our awesome God today and give Him all the glory due His wonderful name and thank Him for loving us, calling us and choosing us to belong to Him, and all because of Jesus. Thank You Lord. Amen.😊
