"I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds."
Psalms 57:9-10
I like the idea of mercy being great unto the heavens and truth unto the clouds. Obviously symbolism, but God's mercy really does reach to the heavens, because that is how we get there. :) And his truth encompasses everything we know, including the clouds.
We so often partition our lives with God on one side and "real" life on the other... going about our school or work days and not thinking about God until it is time for that. Except God's mercy and truth (and everything else) reaches us wherever we are, and is *part* of all of it. God can help us at work or school, and we can serve him there as well.
Today, let's remember that God's mercy and truth are everywhere, and let's embrace it everywhere rather than trying to live part of our lives without that necessary goodness.
