Psalm 36:5-7 NLT
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.
As I was reading these verses in my head, I found that when I slowly read them aloud instead, they had greater impact, and no doubt you find the same thing happens to you when you read verses aloud. So, may I encourage whoever reads this, to do the same and allow these verses to soak into your spirit too, instead of just rushing through them, like we probably do.😊
It will only take a few moments but as we pause at the end of each verse and the truth of what we’re saying penetrates our ears and our souls then His peace and faith will rise up inside us. When we realise how vast the heavens are and that God’s love for us is even greater, it helps to get everything else into perspective.
Then if you’ve done that, why not read them aloud again and shut off everything that’s going on around you for a minute and just allow the Holy Spirit to minister His love to your spirit. And if you find He gives you some thoughts, why not write them down in a notebook or journal so you don’t forget them?
It’s another way of receiving God’s hug we looked at yesterday, and I pray it blesses you whatever time of day or night you’re reading them, as you shelter in the shadow of His wings, and the knowledge of His priceless, unfailing love for you.😊 Amen.
Thank you Jackie, what a blessing
