Are you impressed with the clouds? Psalm 57-59

Psalms 57:10-11 (NASBStr)

For Your lovingkindness is great to the heavens

And Your truth to the clouds.

 Be exalted above the heavens, O God;

Let Your glory be above all the earth.

Yesterday at a soccer game I looked up and saw one of the whitest, puffiest, most compelling clouds I have ever seen.   It so filled the sky I wanted to arise and take a nap on it.  Of course, those around me reminded me of the practical side of that ... I would fall to my death would that even be possible since a cloud is nothing more than a collection of vapor.    However, the above birth tells me that the cloud I saw pales in comparison with the love and truth of the One who created it.  We are sometimes so mesmerized by the creation we forget what the creation teaches us about the creator.    God's love is greater than ALL the heavens, not just one cloud.   If I compare all the stars, suns, moons, clouds, galaxies, and planets, God's love is greater than all these.   Wow!!!   His truth is greater than all the heavens combined.   This is a favorite phrase of David.  See also Ps 36:5; 103:11; 108:4.   I can only imagine all those nights David sat out under the stars and heavens as he watched his father's sheep.   He must have laid their at night gazing steadfastly at the stars.  As he recalled that God had delivered him from the lion that day or the bear that evening, David knew that God's love was greater than anything he could see in the heavens.   David didn't have what we have in giant telescopes to behold the heavens about the heavens, either.   The heavens can't contain God's love for us.   When we sin and sin and continue to sin, God's love surpasses all that and continues to wrap His arms around us.  His love and truth are greater than all we can behold in the clouds.   He is to be exalted ABOVE the heavens.  Praise God for the great clouds, stars and galaxies you see.  But, praise Him ABOVE the earth and heaven.
