JUST HOW BIG
Today's reading: Psalm 57-59

Experts say we use only a small percentage of our brain. Day to day tasks become so routine and habitual that we seldom stretch our minds to grasp or accomplish new things. Sure there are the folks who crack sudoku puzzles and fit correct words into crossword boxes, but the majority of us? Well, most of us rarely flex our mental muscles.

I'm out to challenge your mind this morning. No, no IQ tests or timed multiplication table quizzes. No inkblots for you to ponder or words for you to associate. Here is what I want you to wrap your thoughts around...

"For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds." Psalm 57:10

Can you grasp the heights of His love? Can you see the boundaries of His faithfulness? Have you pondered just how much He loves you? To what lengths He will go to back up His promises to you? Never thought of it, have you? No, I hadn't either.

Take a few minutes to think about the immensity of His affections towards you. Sit back and study the intricacies of His purpose for your life, and the routes He has taken to accomplish it. Meditate, if you will, on the sacrifice He has made for your future.

It'll make your head spin--but your heart will be warmed.
