“Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
your justice like the ocean depths.
You care for people and animals alike, O LORD.
How precious is your unfailing love, O God!
All humanity finds shelter
in the shadow of your wings.
You feed them from the abundance of your own house,
letting them drink from your river of delights.
For you are the fountain of life,
the light by which we see.”
—Psalm 36:6–9
All provision, all good that is in the world, has its source in God. Notice the indiscriminate nature of God’s grace: it extends to all humanity and all animals. God is the light by which we see. We eat because God provides food, sunlight, water, and soil for crops. All enjoyment has its root in what God has made available. Thank God for his provision, his love, his protection, his light that illuminates reality. —Diane Eble, author of Abundant Gifts: A Daybook of Grace-Filled Devotions
