Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. Psalm 36:5
Clear night skies are magnificent. The longer you look, the more distant stars come into focus, still, there are trillions not seen. Our sky is ever changing as the earth spins through days, seasons and years. We cannot comprehend where we are in the universe because we cannot pinpoint a reference. Are we westerners? Northerners? In our vast world, is up, up? We cannot determine, only hypothesize.
David begins this Psalm with the total wickedness of mankind and its complete lack of fear, then turns to God’s infinite love and grace. A sinner among sinners, David felt the power of God’s love, forgiveness and restoration in a whole and unencumbered relationship between him and his Creator.
From the air we breath to the farthest corners of outer space, these things that were created by our Father still do not contain the depths, heights, width or breadth of His love. Pretty amazing!
Inhaling More Deeply,
