Scripture Memorization #15

Beloved Daughters of the Most High God!

     Oh, what a glorious day!  The sun peeks over the horizon and appears to be waking up in the  cool of the morning declaring the glory of the Father.  The sun rising appears to begin its ascent into the heavens.  The reality is that this phenomenal earth on which we live spins on its axis held together by the One Who created it.  What spectacular beauty paints the canvas of the sky!  The canvas of your life and my life is beautifully painted by the same Artist.  Autumn is here!

     Many times we use words without realizing the weightiness or significance of the word.  Have you ever considered the word “beloved” as a term of endearment?   Beloved means dearly loved, dear to the heart.  Stop!  Think with me, Sisters!  We are dearly loved by the Most High God.  We are dear to the heart of God!  Ponder and meditate on that thought.  The Almighty God Who created everything we see by simply speaking it.  The same Creator God breathes life into us!

     Thinking about the words the Father has provided for meditation and memorization has brought not only excitement but also peace and delight.  They are beautiful attributes of our Father. Embracing those attributes of the One to Whom I am to glory provide a sense of security.

     “Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.  Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep.  You, LORD, preserve both people and animals.”  Psalm  36:5-6 (NIV)

     The Father’s unfailing love is as high as heaven.  His love is exquisite, unique, perfect.  It stands alone.  His faithfulness soars to the skies.  The Father does what He says He will do.  Both His love and His faithfulness are unmatched and limitless.  “No power of hell, no scheme of man could ever pluck me from His hand” (In Christ Alone lyrics) is a spectacular picture of His love and faithfulness.  Since a mountain is immovable, we are assured that His righteousness is immovable.  His righteousness does not change.

     Eugene Peterson elaborately describes the Fathers’ attributes.  The Message reads:   “God's love is meteoric, his loyalty astronomic, His purpose titanic, His verdicts oceanic.  Yet in His largeness nothing gets lost; Not a man, not a mouse, slips through the cracks.” Psalm 36:5-6    The latter part of verse 6 is HUGE.  In the Father’s largeness, nothing gets lost!  Not a man, not a mouse slips through the cracks.  Does that not speak directly to your heart and your insecurity?  Oh my, you and I are significant!

               Now it is your turn, Beloved Daughters!
