Psalm 48

How big is God? That really isn't a valid question because God's nature defies our ability to comprehend in any way, shape, or form. So the writter of this psalm pondered another question in verse 10: how big is God's name? The psalmist mind took to imaging such a concept and saw it stretched out over all the earth. But then he added another measure to the situation; how many praises are offered to God? Our words cannot be measured to height, width, length, of depth. But a word and be measured the decible and duration. I can say with confidence that there are few locations around the globe where an hour long, noon-time praise of God is absent. Just like the praises from God's people know no end, so is God's name.
It took me almost 2 minutes to read this psalm.
