"Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the great mountains; Your judgments are a great deep;
O Lord, You preserve man and beast." vv.5-6
Read chapter 36.
Does anyone else start singing the Third Day song when they read these verse? His mercy, His faithfulness, His righteousness and His judgments all display God's love. It is high as the heavens, reaches all the way to the clouds, is wide as a great mountain and deep as the ocean. I can get so dazed staring at all these different things in an awe I can't grasp and seems to be the same with the Lord's love. It's just like the verse in the New Testament that says "grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ" (Ephesians 3:18). Because of this great love of His we are preserved. Man's wickedness could easily be stopped by God cutting man out of the picture, but He loves us rich in undeserved favor and His promises. How do you grasp/ experience/ understand this 4-dimensional reach of love?
