4 For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.
May your glory shine over all the earth.
This past week at church David Murphy was very skilled at taking three songs and making them a seamless one-song set of worship toward God. As a matter of fact he did that twice. David takes the 57th psalm (or however they were recorded at the time to David) and attached the heart of Psalm 60 to it as a praise and prayer to God for deliverance.
He did what my heart should do when I enter into private worship or in the midst of corporate worship and that is Praise God for His Mercy and His Faithfulness – to exalt and declare that His glory should shine over all the earth.
Your unfailing love. Chris Tomlin God is so different than I. He is teaching me to love. He love is unfailing. Whether it is with Abraham as he prepares to sacrifice Issac….walking around in the fire with three Hebrew children that would not bow to another God…With Daniel as he waits in a lions den…with Mary as she waits for 9 months bearing the Son of God…with Paul in prison…with the men who are fishing after the Lord’s resurrection…In the garden or on the cross…His love is unfailing. Oh that my love would be unfailing.
Your Faithfulness. Faithful God God is faithful to His plan and His ways and His purposes as they are worked out in our lives. The sun rises right on time and there is plenty of oxygen to breath…I have coffee to drink and food to eat and clothes to wear. He guides. He provides. He is faithful. I don’t have to understand His ways. I have lots of questions about how He does His work. He is, however, always faithful.
Be Exalted. Be Unto Your Name That is the issue today in my life that God would be exalted. How sinister the enemy is in making me believe it is about my name being exalted and my ways being done. The only cure for the disease of “self” is Him.
Your Glory. They will see your works and glorify your Father in heaven…oh that the spotlight will be on you today.
