Look Up
Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Psalm 36:5
I love to see rainbows, when I’m driving, or looking out of my window or even seeing beautiful pictures on Facebook. Whether bold or dim, a rainbow draws my attention upward and reminds me of the expansiveness of God’s creation and God’s love for us.
This psalm verse echoes a sense of wonder at the awesomeness of God. We are reminded that God’s love “extends to the heavens,” and God’s “faithfulness to the clouds.” Perhaps the invitation today is to spend a few moments looking at the sky and pondering the fullness of God’s love. As you do, whether you see blue skies, clouds, or even a rainbow, may you be reminded that God is with you and that God’s mercies never fail.
God of all creation, you are faithful and good. Help us put our trust wholeheartedly in you today. Amen.
