Psalm 36 - God is This Big.

Psalm 36 - What it teaches me:

"Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skies.
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
your justice like the great deep.
You, Lord, preserve both people and animals."

Love, faithfulness, righteousness and justice. Beautiful and majestic words for a beautiful God.

"How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house;
you give them drink from your river of delights."

God's love is priceless. It is a treasure of pure gold hidden in the ground that someone finds and sells all he has to buy that piece of ground. That is what Jesus said. God's love and friendship is worth more than all we have and all we are.

For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light.  Verses 6-9

Life eternal can only be found in God. He is a fountain of life that spilled over on to the world when Jesus was here. If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus.

In the Bible, darkness represents evil. It is only by the light that comes from God we can see good and be good. In His light, we see light.
