The Height and Depth of Mercy

8/5/2016

0 Comments

 
​This past weekend I had the opportunity to drive down to Kentucky with some family and see the life-size replica of Noah’s Ark. What a sight! It’s built to the same specifications that God gave to Noah all those years ago. It’s 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high – pretty incredible! And it kind of got me thinking of just how immense God’s love and mercy is for us. He gave Noah very specific instructions for building the ark in order to keep him and his family (along with the animals of course) safe. He kept them safe from the wrath of the floodwaters that were otherwise destroying the rest of creation.

​​In the same way, God keeps us safe through all of the trials and issues that we face today. We may get wet, and we may get rocked by the wind and waves every once in a while, but God’s mercy is so immense, so high, so deep, that nothing could possibly overwhelm us or take us out of His reach.
​Perhaps even more amazing is the fact that God’s mercy stretches into our inner struggles as well. No matter how badly we mess up, or the number of mistakes we’ve made, God’s mercy provides for us, lifts us up, and carries us through. May God grant you a glimpse into the immensity of his mercy and love for you, and may it fill you and carry you through whatever life throws at you!

​“Take the world, but give me Jesus! All its joys are but a name. But his love abides forever, Through eternal years the same. Oh, the height and depth of mercy; Oh, the length and breadth of love! Oh, the fullness of redemption, Pledge of endless life above!” (CW, 355)
