1 Kings 7:1-51; Jeremiah 14:1-22; Ephesians 6:10-24
Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments (just decrees) are a great deep (beyond our understanding). Psalm 36:5-6
This psalm opens with David writing, “An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked” (Ps. 36:1, NKJV). Our world is wicked. Continual focus on it will wither the heart. But here David lifts his heart heavenwards. His struggles end as he views the greatness of God. David rested on four of Jehovah’s delightful attributes—His mercy, His faithfulness, His righteousness, His judgements (His ways of dealing with us). No matter your day rest on these four attributes and rejoice in your God. —Jim Comte
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not,
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be. —Thomas Chisholm
