7 Things - Reaching The Heavens

I love to meditate on God's goodness and character reaching as far as the heavens. The Psalmists that wrote these words had never flown in planes or seen camera footage from lofty heights. The concept of being up in the clouds was far beyond anything they could imagine. 

This is a picture of the vastness of God's mercy - beyond anything we can imagine!

Here are 7 things that reach the clouds or the heavens - it is interesting that His mercy is mentioned in so many of these verses, and it is His mercy and glory that go even beyond the heavens:

• God's glory is above the heavens - Ps. 8:1 O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens! (Ps. 113:4; 148:13)

• God's judgments are far above - out of sight - Ps. 10:5 His ways are always prospering; Your judgments are far above, out of his sight; As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.

• God's faithfulness reaches the clouds - Psalm 36:5 Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

• God's truth reaches the clouds - Ps 57:10  ...His mercy reaches to the heavens – His truth to the clouds

• God's mercy reaches above the heavens - Ps. 108:4 For Your mercy is great above the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the clouds. (Ps. 103:11)

• God's wonders are in the heavens - Acts 2:19 I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

The final one of these seven is the greatest of them all - 

• God's Son, Jesus, is far above all the heaves - Eph. 4:10 He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.

Psalm 103:11

As high as the heavens are above the earth

that is how vast His mercy is

towards those who fear (worship, obey) Him.
