Leviticus 2:1-16; Psalms 99:1-101:8; Acts 25:13-27
For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him. Psalm 103:11 NKJV
This Psalm explores the dimensions of God’s mercy toward us. The extent of this mercy is immeasurable. The height goes out to an expanding universe. The width is as far as the east is from the west, directions that never meet. The description of the depth is a father’s care and concern for his children, mercy with no end. The length is eternal, from everlasting to everlasting. He also forgives all our iniquities, a number beyond any reckoning. Our response should
echo the psalmist, “Bless the Lord O my soul”. —Gary McBride
Oh, the height and depth of mercy!
Oh, the length and breadth of love!
Oh, the fullness of redemption,
Pledge of endless life above. —Fanny Crosby
