LIVIN' LARGE

TODAY'S READING: Deut.3,4; Ps.36; Mark 13

Scripture

Ps. 36:5-7 [Message}
God's love is meteoric,
his loyalty astronomic,
[6] His purpose titanic,
his verdicts oceanic.
Yet in his largeness
nothing gets lost;
Not a man, not a mouse,
slips through the cracks.
[7] How exquisite your love, O God!
How eager we are to run under your wings,

Observation

Sometimes you just gotta go to the paraphrase, [Message] - the author catches the intent of the Scripture and just raises the temp - brings it up a notch.
I love these verses:
Not a man, not a mouse, slips through the cracks. How exquisite your love, O God! How eager we are to run under your wings,

Application

These verses remind me that we are “Livin’ Large” - life is good, and God is Great!

Prayer

Father,
Wow! Thanks, Thanks again, for creating me, and allowing me to experience your creation.
Thanks for your love, and as I run under your wing, give me the hand of another to run there with. Your Son, Pj
