Psalm 145: 3- “Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure His greatness.”
My husband, a jack-of-all-trades, loves tools. He says it is important to have the right tool for the right job. He has lots of them—even duplicates of most.
He has several tape measures, varying in overall lengths, colors, and materials. Some have belt clips. Others even have a laser. He should be able to measure just about anything.
King David had experience in building, too. No wonder, then, that some of the songs he wrote referenced measurement.
In the Bible, he paints a picture in song of the vastness of God’s greatness. He says it cannot be measured.
He refers to the magnitude of God’s love, in Psalm 103:11. “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him.”
I like this verse in 2 Chronicles 2:6a- “But who is able to build a temple for him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain him?”
What a picture we are painted of His immensity!
All of our collective praise falls short, in comparison.
In times when we fail to believe in His ability to heal, provide, or answer our prayers, we need only to meditate on verses such as these.
Oh, God, how great thou art!! Great beyond all measure.
Beautifully worded, Brenda! I love the comparison of measurement and the vastness of God’s measure.
