Psalms 36:5
“Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.”
Psalms 36:5 NIV
God’s love is so great and wide that we can hardly begin to fathom it. You see, no matter what you do or fail to do, God will never love you any less, and He cannot love you any more than He already does. That love of His for you isn’t based on who you are or what you do; it’s based on who He is, and God is love and His love infinite.
There are no greater heights that man can imagine than the vast heavens above. And so David uses the vast expanse of the unreachable skies in the firmament above in His attempt to articulate the glories of the Lord and wonders of His holy name.
The great canopy of the celestial heavens and the vast sweep of the skies above is the greatest element that David can use when contrasting the unsurpassed righteousness of God with the wickedness of evil men.
What comfort, rest, and reassurance wash the hearts and minds of believers when reflecting on the overwhelming love of God and the depth and height and length and breadth to which His grace extends.
This knowledge of God is not for the unregenerate, for the wisdom of God is foolishness to them. Indeed, God's foolishness is wiser than man's wisdom, and His weakness is stronger than man's combined strength. But such understanding is sweetness and strength to the sanctified soul, for true knowledge of the Holy-One is spiritually discerned.
The knowledge that comes from the Lord quickens our heart, comforts our soul, informs our thoughts, and translates into joy and peace. May we lift our hearts with King David’s morning by morning and every moment of our transient lives, by raising our voices in joyful thanks and praise, for God's loyal love reaches to the sky, His faithfulness extends beyond the clouds, and His saving grace spans the eternal ages to come.
This Psalm perfectly describes God’s character and who He is as not only God but a loving Father. It encompasses how steadfast His love is for us and how He alone is the one that can give true life to the hopeless, light in the darkest of times and a saving Grace to those who are lost in sin. This Psalm is a recognition of how faithful and loving God is!!!
Father thank You for this day for preserving us and for Your grace that is humbling, that we can barely comprehend Your goodness sometimes. Lord open the floodgates of heaven and let Your abundant blessings pour out over my friend and family today. Lord thank You for Your loving-kindness, and Your Righteousness. Lord please forgive us for our continued sins, and help us walk in the Holy Spirit, that we will not gratify the desires of my flesh. Be glorified in our lives. Lord thank You, for the many reassurances that You give my fainting soul, in these precious promises about Your nature and character. Lord use my friend to be a blessing someone needs today.
Father, we love You. Amen !
