For even earlier, before I stepped out the door, I had read the above verse describing God's mercy to be as high as the heavens are above the earth. And then, when I did begin my walk, it was like my eyes were automatically drawn up to the skies, and I found myself looking up and wondering just how high the heavens are above the earth. Obviously, it didn't take long to realize that the distance is immeasurable. Thus, God's mercy, which is available to all who love Him, cannot be measured! It's that great!
This truth captivated my heart as I continued my walk, and by the time I arrived home and my husband asked how it went, all I could say is that it was like the heavens had opened up to me! And they truly had. For you see, I need God's mercy every single day and this morning through the combination of His Word and His creation, I saw how great it is. It's as high as the heavens are above the earth. That's great enough to cover me no matter what comes my way. That almost takes my breath away!
My photo doesn't do it justice, but I doubt I will ever look up into the heavens again without being reminded of the greatness of God's mercy to all who love Him.
No wonder it seemed like the heavens opened up!
Love and blessings,
