For his unfailing love toward those who fear him
is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.
is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.
He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west.
as the east is from the west.
The Lord is like a father to his children,
tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
For he knows how weak we are;
he remembers we are only dust.
he remembers we are only dust.
Psalm 103:11-14
SCRIPTURE:"The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him."
OBSERVATION: This is a true picture of the ultimate Father. His Love resembles the song from Sister Act 2:
"'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe"
"'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe"
His Love is huge, and powerful and all encompassing, nothing will get in its way - in fact, His love goes so far as to remove our sins, so that we wont be separated from Him.
APPLICATION: I don't have a dad that I would go to for protection, or just to hang out with because I love him and look up to him.
But I have God. The greatest Father ever! He protects me (Day4:Refuge) and loves me in a way that almost stretches the abilities of love! I should be choosing to hang out with Him because I love Him, because He's awesome, because I look up to Him, because I want to be like Him, because why the heck wouldn't I?
PRAYER:
God,
I love you so much, but I suck at noticing what's more important to me, what I should be spending more of my time on. Please help me to focus on You, and put you first!
Amen.
