Psalms 36: Immeasurable and limitless


Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.

Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast. -Ps. 36:5-6 NIV

We know so much more about space than the ancients did.  We have made progress towards exploring it's regions, yet our view of God and his faithfulness is still limited.  We have plumbed the depths of the seas, yet we have little understanding of God's love, his justice, his willingness to redeem his creation.  How different our lives and circumstances would be if we contemplated that love, his majesty, his righteousness, his faithfulness, his justice, rather than our limited view. 

Our limited earthly view sees love as something self-serving.  We see faithfulness as a promise that can be broken.  We see righteousness as something impossible and justice as a concept that often does not work as we think it should.

For today, throw your arms open wide and accept that God's love has no limits.  His faithfulness is all encompassing.  His righteousness and justice are greater than anything the holiest saint or greatest minds can conceive.  His worth is immeasurable and limitless.
