God-Size Love

In this day of hearts, what better way to measure your love, Father, if that is possible, than by the way it is put by the author of this song:

Psalm 108:4 (NIV)
“For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.”

I guess that somehow gives an idea of the enormity of your love. Often, words like “immeasurable” or “unfathomable” are used to describe it. I’m sure these are not exaggerations, LORD. Still, the psalmist somehow gives us a more finite idea.

We are time- and measure-bound, Father. You are infinite. I pray for your patience. We only seek to understand.

Perhaps, a little lesson in context would help. It is said that if we look at the verses that come before and after a particular verse in your Word, we might understand it better.

Let’s try verse 3, then:

“I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.”

Oh.

It figures.

Well, on to verse 5:

“Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let your glory be over all the earth.”

Absolutely.

If such is the size of the love of God, he deserves nothing less than the praise of all the nations, glory over all the earth and exaltation above the heavens!

Indeed, be exalted, Father.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name, I ask it, LORD. Amen.

The US Supreme Court will soon make a ruling on whether or not the public display of the Ten Commandments is constitutional. What a sad commentary to today's spiritual condition of the nation that we even have to have the highest court of the land consider this. Please pray that the Supreme Court justices will be urged to come to a God-ly decision. Share in the work to better understand this issue and protect this important standard that serves as a basis for our legal system.
