Psalm 36: God's Unfailing Love

Psalm 36 is a beautiful meditation on God's character in the middle of injustice.

Praiseworthy Characteristics and Attributes of God
Several characteristics of God are described in ways that show us they are inexhaustible (36:5-6):

• His love reaches to the heavens
• His faithfulness reaches to the skies
• His righteousness is as high as the mountains

God is described as a place of refuge and a provider out of his abundance (36:7-8).

He is a fountain of life and light for the world (36:9).

He is a protector (36:10).

• Spend some time meditating on the goodness of God.
