MIGHTY LOVE
Ps 36:5-9
“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. How priceless is your unfailing love!
Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast
on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of
delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.”
As we were praying this morning, my wife was praising God for His love; a love
greater that we can know or comprehend. As I thought about that I was reminded
of this Psalm. Truly, God's love is both priceless and unfailing. There is no
price that any man could ever bring to earn God's favor or to deserve His love,
and still it never falters. And the benefits of that great love are not based
on status or heritage. God has provided a place of safety for the low and the
high, for the great and small, for those whose value is easily discerned and
for those whose worth is seen only by God Himself. He preserves and provides
for both. Our loving Father knows our needs and He meets them with abundance;
we need a drink and God provides a river!
Finally, in the same way that life itself flows from our gracious Father, so
does wisdom and understanding. We would be in the dark about God and His great
love if He did not provide illumination.
Wherever you are, whatever your situation today, know this: YOU ARE LOVED!
