Psalm 36:5 Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
It is a beautiful crisp morning here in Middle Tennessee. I am sitting in my kitchen facing the back yard. As I look up I see wispy clouds floating by and the beauty of the sun shining through. I am reminded just how awesome God is. God knows every need that we have and also every want that we desire. He knows the little things that cause us worry and pain. He knows when we sin and fall short of his glory. No matter what, God still loves us through it all. He is the Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end. He is there to see us through it all because he loves us.
When you read this verse, just as it is, it seems that David is just worshipping God. If you read it in context, you see that David is pleading with God. First in verses 1-4 David is speaking about how the sinful devise evil plots and make no attempts to turn away from their ways. Then in 5-9 David gives glory to God. He sings praises to his name. In 10-12 David makes his personal request that God administer justice to those who were oppressing David. What an example of prayer for us.
So many times we go to God with our wants and desires immediately. That is not how we should be praying to Him. We should be focusing on who he is more than what our needs are. When we do that we begin to see God for who he is...GOD. He is not just a Mr Fix It. Instead he is the Creator of the Universe. He is the Everlasting. He is Love.
What is he to you?
