Thought of the day: As the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. Psalm 103:11 Stop for a moment. Go to a window. Look--out and up! Take in this jaw-dropping truth. Gods compassion toward you in Christ is as vast as the cosmos! In particular, our Lords immeasureable love belongs to those who fear him. This fear is not terror; far from it! Instead, its the heart attitude of those who cling to Gods Word in faith. Think of this fear in terms of awe. Its the orientation of those who dread doing anything that would dishonor their heavenly Father. Its the focus of those who rely on the cross of Christ Jesus for personal and perfect pardon. Its the obsession of the Fathers dearly-loved children to do only and always what makes him smile. This faith-filled awe is your Saviors gift of you. He gives it because he wants you to experience the peace of relying o Gods rock-solid love. So go ahead. Ponder it. Claim it. Imagine a love that stretches above the clouds and extends into all eternity. Lord, teach me to fear and trust you in this way...Amen.
