For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him – Psalm 103:11
Did you know that Sirius is the nearest star to the Earth after the Sun? The distance between Earth and Sirius is 6 trillion miles or about 8.6 light-years. It will take us about 17,500 years to reach one light-year at its current speed. If the nearest star itself is so far from us and so high above, can you imagine how high the heavens are above the earth?
It’s hard to even comprehend, but that’s how great His mercy is towards us! Why should the Elohim God (Creator of the universe) show us mercy, even when He knows everything about us – our sins, failures, wrongdoings? God shows us mercy because of who He is, not because of who we are! God’s character is of love, mercy, compassion and kindness. He is our loving Father, whose love for us is unfailing! It is because of His faithful and unconditional love towards us that His mercies are new every morning.
My sins they are many, His mercy is more… Praise the LORD!
