Psalm 48:1 - Our Infinite God.
Psalm 48:1 (NKJV) Great is the LORD, and
greatly to be praised In the city of our God, In His
holy mountain.
COMMENTARY PEARL
As a boy I grew up in the rural American
South. My idea of the ocean was so small that the
first time I saw the Atlantic I couldn't
comprehend how any lake could be so big! The vastness
of the ocean cannot be understood until it is
seen.
This is the same with God's love. It
passes knowledge. Until you actually experience it,
no one can describe its wonders to you. The
opening lines of one of our great old hymns declare,
"O the deep, deep love of Jesus / Vast,
unmeasured, boundless, free! / Rolling as a mighty ocean
/ In its fullness over me."
Behind the love of God lies His
omniscience - His ability to "know and understand all."
Omniscience is a quality of God that is His alone. God
possesses infinite knowledge and an awareness that is
uniquely His. At all times, even in the midst of any
type of suffering, I can realize that He knows,
loves, watches, understands, and, more than that,
has a purpose.
No matter what comes your way ... no
matter how tempted you are to give in to despair
... never forget: God's love for you can never
be exhausted, for His love is beyond measure.
Marriage vows are possibly the strongest
declaration of love: in sickness and in health, for rich
or for poor. Yet, even this love is only until
"death do us part." God promises that not even
death can separate us from his love. [Hope for
Each Day by Billy Graham]
